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.
