Are you saying that calculating that more water is being taken out of the ground than returned is junk science?<<<<

Yes, I am. KEY WORD: CALCULATING!

Mere man can run all the calculations he wants to, but the truth is, the earth will take care of itself. It's been turning for billions of years, through billions of changes.

Usually, I can see the politics behind these scare tactics, they are very transparent. We will always have a water source, even if we are reduced to catching rain in barrells (like that will happen - LOL!)

Oil for instance, COMES FROM THE GROUND! It is a natural (if smelly) product that man has found a use for, but that other countries and enviros with their own agenda are demonizing. Yeah, birds and other widdle helpless animals get covered in oil spills, but nature is a hard mistress, and animals do get hurt on occassion, in more natural ways like starvation and getting hunted down.

FYI, unlike global warming as a junk science, studies of the worldwide potable water supply and its impacts on economic health (and political stability) have been ongoing by respectable institutions for many years.

I can tell you that there is considerable concern over the growing demand for fresh water verses its supply in just about every corner of the globe, including here in the US, over the next 20 years. Of course here at home we are used to solving such problems through technology.

In Asia however, the predictions are far worse, with two nuclear capable nations with populations each exceeding 1 billion (China, India) looking at contention over fresh water resources that will likely not meet either ones demand, much less both. That bodes for a very unstable situation, and one that we should all be concerned about.

You should also add that every species that has ever existed on the planet (with the obvious exception of those currently here) has gone extinct. I guess life in general is better at adapting than specific species.

But, it should be kept in mind that adopting and prospering don't necessarily go hand in hand.
