This means riverbeds across the world are over-mined, causing pollution and flooding, while also shrinking aquifers and deepening droughts.

Crystal Jar with sand from the Gulf of Mexico.
*The sand is as white as sugar. Seashells from the beach, and my green rhinestone frog on the half shell. I used to wear that green frog all the time to work. It's a brooch with movable golden feet. We got famous, and people would give me frog things, thinking I would like them. He's not a prince. I thought of him much like a Star Trek communicator. I would touch the green frog and think, "Beam me up - out of here."
