Water, Water, Nowhere

Another couple of articles today on the need to start paying attention to water needs. This Reuters article goes into how much water is used in the Great Plains to produce food . . . and how that underground, aquifer water is being drained faster than replaced. Add in the growing non-food demand and uh-oh. This NM article focuses specifically on the state's coming problems and growing calls for "proactive planning." You think? I was teaching a summer course on water shortages and their political implications in the mid-'80s. Good thing we're such a serious people . . . wait, have to go. A Jon Benet story is on.
