Canada - US - Water Wars

Debbi, your research paper on the growing shortage of potable (drinkable) water on earth is very important. We likely will have water wars in the future. For instance, the Southwest of the USA has no water. How much are we in Wisconsin willing to let them drain off our water tables and the Great Lakes? Your humble servant here would send none, unless the end-users of the water paid for it, good and hard. Water is more valuable than oil in the long run. Also, Canada is fearful of our tapping into its water resources - for free or at low cost. The Pentagon in fact has done "war gaming" scenarios and strategies on how we will respond to this growing shortage of potable water with armed force.

Will we ever be able to solve the worlds water problem is something that every nation should be working on. The problem is world wide, not just here in the United States. In years to come everyone is going to have a foreseeable water problem and we, as a nation, should be working to solve this problem now so in the future we do not have to worry about where our water is coming from. The generations that are coming after us deserve a solution to this problem and it is our responsibility to make sure that they have one. Clean water for everyone is a necessity; not a luxury.
