As the most precious resource on our planet that is crucial to sustaining all lifeforms, it’s no surprise that water is in high demand. One of the principal ways of accessing H2O is through abstraction. Simply put, this refers to the process of extracting water from any natural source, such as a lake, aquifer, river, stream or spring.
Water abstraction is most commonly used for irrigation, with over two-thirds (71%) of all of the freshwater on planet Earth diverted towards agricultural purposes. However, there are plenty of other reasons why water is abstracted, including treatment for use as drinking water and manifold industrial applications.
BOISE â Seven months ahead of the federally mandated deadline, the Idaho Division of Motor Vehicles continues to raise awareness of the importance of obtaining a Star Card - Idahoâs REAL ID. Beginning Oct. 1, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require a Star Card, U.S. passport, military ID, or other REAL ID compliant identification, to board a commercial flight and enter a federal facility.
Currently 465,563 of 1.25 million licensed drivers in Idaho have a Star Card. Two years ago in February 2019, just 70,000 Idahoans had obtained their Star Card.
âI canât stress enough the importance of planning ahead and updating your driverâs license to a Star Card today,â said DMV Administrator Alberto Gonzalez. âWe are pleased to see the number of people getting the Star Card increasing, but now is not the time to slow down. Our goal is 100% awareness, so no one is unexpectedly forced to miss a vacation or unplanned, last minute trip this fall.â
