Members RA1 Posted August 29, 2014 Members Share Posted August 29, 2014 This story has been building for years and years with often and ample warnings but little action. So, suddenly, various companies sniff that there may be a profit in misery? There is plenty of water but, indeed, we shall have to pay more for it. Desalinization, anyone? Stop flushing?

Members wayout Posted August 29, 2014 Members Share Posted August 29, 2014 I won't be surprised if a transcontinental water pipeline gets built one day. http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2011/09/06/western-water-woes-is-big-infrastructure-the-way-to-go/ http://www.nrdc.org/water/management/pipelines-project.asp AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MsGuy Posted August 29, 2014 Members Share Posted August 29, 2014 On the other hand, if you really want to conserve near 'bout any commodity, you don't sell it cheap. Put a dear price on something and folks will find a way to minimize its use. When people had to hand pump the water (or,worse yet, haul it from the creek), they didn't bathe more than once a week.
