As a kid, I learned about the water cycle in school. Last I checked water isnt really consumed, just used and sent on its way.
Maurice Strong, the guy who was instrumental in writing UN Agenda 21, started his career trying to get a monopoly on water rights in Colorado so he could sell water. He lost in court and had to pay on the $3.1-million damages.
He also was involved in some financial shenanigans at the United Nations involving Food for Oil.
He moved to Beijing before he could be indicted, evidently.
