Reply #1: Hmmm, if it provides water for 20 million people...

[Deja Q]

Could drinking it be part of the problem? (How high must temperatures get before such serious evaporation occurs?)

:sarcasm:


Now to be serious:

They're right, the 'cheating' of the West... and thanks to offshoring, those cheaters are much closer to home.

But, oops! I forgot to mention, they're bickering about the water that remains. Such bickering (which is a common excuse for cheating) is also a staple routine of the West! Seems they are little different when one starts to think about it... :(

On the plus side, the EU, the US, and others are genuinely starting to shift toward wind, solar, and other means of power. And with scientists finding ways to deal with the problem (that's the romantic impossible side of me talking) we'll be okay. Hell, I'd pay real money to get educated so I could make a better, positive difference!

And I've also wondered why nobody can take the salt out of marine water to make it viable for consumption?
