We all die.

Not a complicated question, really.

Though, there are ways to continue. Apparently there's a product called the Dragon-Fly that can distill up to 8 gallons of distilled, sanitized water a day from the air. So I suppose anyone can become a scruffy nerf herding moisture farmer for just $1400!

EVERYONE can have enough water if drinking water is free BUT water for lawns, driveways, etc. is expensive. Developers should pay the FULL cost of hookups AND mitigate water demand elsewhere...

Even with the most strict conservation efforts, even those that significantly reduce the the quality of life, we will still run out of drinking water, if we leave the making of it to nature.

But when you put a nuclear reactor on the coast, a byproduct of the process is the conversion of salt water to clean drinking water.

Imagine carbon-free electricity, and new rivers of clean water while getting rid of all that radioactive waste we currently have (by using it as fuel), all at the same time.

3 major problems with one stone.

I remember that episode in that old kids show Mr. Wizards World.

When we run out of drinking water we shall perish - it is that simple! It is also happening at warpspeed while we talk about it - too late mate!

That requires no debate!

It has been reported that W. sent his daughter Jenna to purchase a 100,000 acre ranch in Paraguay that sits atop the Guarani Aquifer (largest in South America) - he's either going into business OR hiding....hmmmm

There are too many people on this earth. There needs to be less. Nature will thin the herd.

Bleeding hurts exasperate the problem. Go ahead and donate to UNICEF. Tools.

This article is another fear mongering attempt to enforce bogus theories of scarcity and promote illegal seizure of public drinking water. The chemtrail induced droughts and propping up of obsolete technologies that deliberately destroy water supply and quality only reinforce my argument. Read Quiet Weapons For Silent Wars. All these manufactured crisis's are known as "stressors" in the elite circles, to bring about THEIR desired changes in THEIR interest.

The developers and some people in Buckeye Arizona represent a perfect example of their ignorance of natural systems such as the hydrologic (water) system. In simple terms, water cycles within a global system and there is a finite amount of fresh water on our planet, so they cannot get more!

I wonder how many people understand that their drinking water has been recycled through this system that includes clouds, rivers, oceans, the atmosphere and glaciers...AND also through sewage treatment systems. They are drinking water that has been flushed down a toilet at some time.

How much more ignorant can Americans become?

I wish I could get a job there. Nice place to live.

The sickening thing is, the Buckeye & the Bradley Village (not the name I can't remember it, a neighboring town to Willits who are as stoopid as Buckeye) types are the ones in charge, in nearly every single town. IN my town, the two city council candidates vying to get on the council weren't voted in. The incumbents ran on a platform of "there's not such thing as Global Warming" "We'll be fine" and "There is no water crisis, not now, not ever." 'Merkaans are notorious for their short-sighted stoopidity, their abject ignorance and hatred of anything intellectual, and they're the greatest lot of cowards on the planet. And their owning-class has all of those in spades. The rest of us continental lowers are hamstrung by the uppers and their stoopid myopia.

The tragic thing is, even smart, hard working, open-mindeds will be struck down by the extinction behavior of the owning class who run things. And it's all 100% avoidable. It's exactly like trying to talk sense to a fundie Xtian... you can't, their eye glaze over, their BP spikes and they get red faced and militant the minute you mention anything other than NASCAR, guns or god.

It's a clusterfuck.

There was a drought in Atlanta in 2007 and people were asked to cut back on their water usage, stop watering the lawn, etc. etc.
A huge debate soon arose in the paper as leaders from three states chose to divert water from other sources which resulted in causing damage to the oyster and mussel population in the Apalachicola-Chatahoochee-Flint river system.
For several weeks the debate raged about the lack of water flowing through the system and how it affected commercial oyster and shrimp harvesting, honey making and endangered species of mussels that rely on the flow of fresh water, not to mention the toll of having to look at all those unsightly, dry Atlanta lawns!
But the community responded and reduced water usage. Once the drought had passed and bans on water usage were lifted, city officials found that people were using less water so they raised the price of water!
Mayor Franklin of Atlanta said her proposal to raise water-sewer rates 15 percent for all but the smallest users would not only encourage more water conservation, it would also raise $33 million a year. That is the amount the city is currently on track to lose as a result of Atlanta's water customers consuming, and buying, less water during the drought.
So what's the real problem here?

Escape to Wisconsin!
We have all the fresh water you need. I have a 15 gpm shower head (the Costa Rican waterfall model). We can't even begin to use all the water we are blessed with.
Eat your heart out! Or, just move to Milwaukee.

I was employed by the ringleader behind 50+/- yrs of planning for this water shortage. Greed. Development. See my page:

Seriously.

You California/Arizona/Nevada yuppies need a good die off to thin the herd.
