RE: Hug a tree hugger

Depending on the standard of living you expect, the world IS in a potable water shortage.
Out here on the left coast, Palm Springs grows green lawns in front of every house and has dozens of golf courses, watered several times daily. The water table is falling several feet per year.
So Cal is a desert receiving no more than 1' of water per year.

The Colorado river reaches the Sea Of Cortez less than 1 time per decade.

The Ogallala Aquifer is being depleted faster than replenishment....and this supplies much of the water for the US.

I'll post a photo of Hoover Dam....the upstream side is AT LEAST 100 feet low. And leaves a world class bathtub ring.

This is as much a population problem.....7 billion on the planet, give or take, as it is a political problem.
