I have followed for some years the discussion of water in places like Arizona. It is remarkable to me to observe how the population growth in the U.S., particularly the southwest, is increasingly reliant on groundwater.
Policies accepting groundwater use for development will not end well, and policy makers are simply under too much pressure to exaggerate the availability of the resource. There will be many high end ghost towns happening later this century, including communities such as Palm Springs.
Sooner or later, the U.S. will have to cut a deal with Canada to import water. Canada has the bulk of the world’s freshwater, 80% of which flows into the oceans. A common sense person would expect water pipelines to be built transporting humanity's most valuable commodity from Canada to the U.S.
But alas, the threat to humanity of running out of water pales in comparison to the cancel culture climate mob which will vehemently oppose any pipeline, just as it did the Keystone pipeline.
