Re: Will Global fresh water be shortage in 20 years?

While I really don't thing we're at any risk of running out of water.  Will there be shortages? Yes. There are already... But...

What it will do is to put pressure on other technologies.  Israel farms the Negev desert.  How? With seawater.

We'll do the same thing.  Will the low margin mid western farms still be able to irrigate the same wasteful way they do today? Nope!

Will we continue to believe we can grow corn-ethanol? I hope not. 

Will we adopt solar energy?? Gee there's a no-brainer!
