Putting people into deserts is part of the problem.Many parts of Australia have historically been dry and yet there are enormous cities springing up,which for most of the time survive on the brink.Cities like London are rapidly exceeding the capacity to impost water from Wales and Scotland due to underinvestment in the past and the sheer profiteering in the water industry today.There was "talk" during the very dry year of 1975[?] of a grid system for the UK but that came to nothing as soon as it rained again.Many parts of the world are "short" of water only because the old saw is true,you can't get a quart out of a pint pot.Especially if most of that pint is polluted.
Heres a question that has just come to me.In places where A/C is used ,what do they do with the clean distilled water that results? Is it used or run to waste?
