Maybe you should be more interested in who is paying off the Governor
of Maryland and the EPA to ignore all of the pollution coming down the
Susquehanna River. You live on that open sewer that gets half it's
water from industry, farms and defective sewer plants in New York and
Pennsylvania. The politics are blue in those states but the water is
brown.


Our new governor is a republican and I am not aware of any criminal
background in his dossier. Your governor is a known big time crook.

It's amazing that his boat hasn't dissolved in that solvent laden brown
muck he boats in. And he swims in it. Yuck. ( speaking of Harry, of
course. That enough context?)

Some say the boat in question doesn't exist.

Greg, that's one thing about our little Midwest area. We have water
but it seems like not enough of it. That sounds odd but our town has
done surveys to invite manufacturing industries , and that's the
stopper. "We don't have enough water".

So... That's the main concern here .

Water is going to be a much greater problem than oil in the 21st
century. The problem is that the things that might smooth out the
flood vs drought problems come with an environmental cost we are
unlikely to accept. China is not bothered by things like that. They
are changing the ecology of vast areas of China and not really
thinking that much of the consequences. It is somewhat like the US was
during the FDR administration when we were damming up major rivers and
flooding vast areas of the landscape out west to save water while
channelizing rivers in other places to get rid of fresh water. Both
created ecological disasters.
Now we are trying to restore the old "lazy" rivers in Florida and they
are blowing up dams all over to restore natural flows and reestablish
fish runs,

It would help if county water commissions didn't grant companies like
Nestle carte-blanche to pump water from our aquifers.

I doubt Nestle uses more water than a golf course and certainly
nothing like an almond orchard..



725 million gallons a year just for its bottled water products in
California.

A golf course can use 15-20 million gallons a month
That is tame compared to the crops they are growing in the desert in
California.
Pretty much all of the water they use is piped in.


About 12 million acre feet this year. Top was 15 million acre feet a few
years ago. There s only about 18 million acre feet available.

Those Aramco guys certainly earn their money the hard way.
