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.

And that water has been used mostly to water cows.

Sad.



You have something against cows?


Cows were herded by cowboys. Cowboys fended off rustlers,
rattlesnakes, and indians with guns. Ergo, cowboys were bad - and that
makes cows bad.
