I'm amazed by the continuing barrage of stories about the fresh water crisis in the American southwest. Amazed that the obvious is not clear; I knew this one in 1979. My rule of thumb was "Don't live where your water is piped in from out of state." A recent article in the New York Times quotes local or regional bureucrats who wax eloquent about the double-digit growth expected in their area, but in the same breath confess that they don't have water to support growth. (Or even the status quo.) Hello? Anybody home? Can you say "empty promises" and "don't go there"?
