This is so SILLY. There IS NOT any SUCH THING as a “shortage” of water. If you needed water, you could order a pallet load of bottled water from Iceland delivered by FEDEX overnight. You can have all the water you want to purchase, just about anywhere on earth.
There is only a shortage of the money, or the will to spend the money, to have sufficient water of sufficient quality delivered to the user.
Why is this so hard to grasp?
It is silly that you think that price doesn’t matter, especially when it comes to the costs of routine life, electricity, water, food.
Why do you think that people go to such great lengths on an individual basis to save water, why do you think that people in rainless climates landscape with the cost of water as the primary concern?
In Southern California we don’t have the grass yards of my hometown of Houston, many yards are deliberately covered with rocks or some desert friendly covering, anything to avoid the cost of water.
I think that you are probably the most clueless poster I have seen here in years and that you don’t have any knowledge about anything regarding water or even normal life. Anyone who doesn’t think that cost matters in regards to water and sewage, is a moron, even Barbara Streisand who spends about %23,000.00 a year on water at her house, is probably aware that many people can’t, and don’t want to spend that money annually.
You sound like a typical liberal, solar and desalinated water before the market can make them affordable, because money is no object to a lefty idiot who can afford to import bottled water to wash his blue jeans and flush his toilets.
