Here's an obtuse clue that's related to the subject: Canada and some of

states around the Great Lakes are discussing ways to deal with the
possibility of ships from certain countries filling up with water and
hauling it home.

They are a lot more concerned with foreign ships dumping their water
here (along with zebra mussels and other exotics)

Different issue. I'm talking about water being illegally exported for use as
drinking water. It doesn't seem like it could have much of an impact on such
big lakes, but apparently, it's true. I'll see if I can wade through my 83
billion bookmarks and find you some information. Mostly, I've just read
local newspaper articles.

Is it illegal to take water from the Great Lakes to other countries?
What about the water flowing into the Atlantic? Are you going to arrest
the Atlantic Ocean?
