Than...@Danny, I hadn't though of those things. Thanks for pointing it out.<br /><br />@anonymous, Took me awhile too. :-) I've heard that California is in real bad shape. I think in Cadillac Desert the author talks about people from the middle east coming over and watching how Californians use water for agriculture. They were appalled by the waste. They just couldn't believe that something so precious could be so flagrantly wasted. We have rights on the family farm in Oregon to tap into the aquifer but from what I've seen they are doing a pretty good job of regulating use. So some places at least are making an attempt at sustainable use.Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-76487428006207720632012-10-24T21:37:31.996+02:002012-10-24T21:37:31.996+02:00Hi Victoria

California is also a state that has experienced severe drought and water rationing with reserves, at times, almost completely depleted. This past summer was a disaster for many farmers in the midwest.<br />Do you really think the USA would ask Canada for water, seems more likely they would just take it. LOL.<br />So many "wars" have been fought in the USA and abroad over water rights. <br />I believe one of the Emirates once had a bit of polar ice shipped to them, or was that just a joke. Can't remember now.<br /><br />Water is the world's most precious resource. <br />Thank you for reminding me !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-23880253709473546822012-10-24T17:07:38.932+02:002012-10-24T17:07:38.932+02:00The Great Lakes, Lake Michigan is entirely within ...The Great Lakes, Lake Michigan is entirely within the boundaries of the United States, so any deal made between Great Lakes states and provinces would be rejiggered or just ignored in the event that the aquifers or the rivers dry up. We also have to remember that desalination technology is advancing at the same rate as other technologies and likely by the time there is an actual need, it will be a better viable alternative.Danny from Chicagonoreply@blogger.com
