 The text discusses how technology is helping to monitor and manage water supplies more efficiently. It mentions that NASA is inviting people to register their names in a microchip aboard a spacecraft, which will be launched into asteroid Bennu in 2016. The article also talks about how robots are being used to collect samples from asteroids and how this can help us learn more about space and potentially find new sources of water. Additionally, it highlights the importance of monitoring and managing water supplies on Earth, citing examples of organizations working towards this goal.
