Water security and emergency preparedness

Not notable. Rambles about this topic, and seems to be more like an essay. Mostly insalvageable. — This, that, and the other (talk) 09:22, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * As the creator of this article (and a new Wikipedian), I would like more clarification on the reasons that this article is "not notable", and how it should be improved. It deems note in the eyes of many people, as government agencies around the world (such as the US EPA and American Water Works Association) have noted the issue as an important one, including enacting regulation to address water security issues.  In addition, many citations are included in the article.  That said, it is only the beginning of this article, and input on its improvement is welcome.  In addition, the most correct term for the topic is truly "water security", though this term is also used in the meaning of "capacity of a population to ensure that they continue to have access to potable water".  It should be possible to see this article when "water security" is searched.  Suggestions and discussion would be greatly appreciated. LindseyEKerr (talk) 11:10, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Obviously notable. See Urban water Security, for example. Colonel Warden (talk) 01:06, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, but rename to "water security" Article has decent references, and I think it is easily salvagable, esp. with the addition of material noted by LindseyEKerr: "the meaning of "capacity of a population to ensure that they continue to have access to potable water" --Nuujinn (talk) 16:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
