I have been saying for a long time that we will run out of water long
before we run out of oil.
California is one of the best examples. They have taken a some of the
biggest rivers in the US and turned them into mud holes.
It is not the only one tho, What they are doing to Ogalalla aquifer
might actually be harder to fix. That is not simply overusing snow
melt, they are pumping down fossil water that will take thousands of
years to replace.



Florida...the next desert.

Actually the Democrats are the problem with the water here. They control
politics in California. AG controls politicians. Resnick of Beverly Hills
is one of the biggest donors to Dem's. Last water contract from the Feds,
was at $6-9 and acre foot, and can be resold. Reselling water that costs
the people $60 to deliver, for $300-1500 an acre foot. Before they could
not resell unused allotment. 40 year contract. 2000 AG got about 10
million acre feet. 2013 they got about 15 million acre feet.
