    And what does that have to do with our cities draining aquifers that take 1,000 years to refill? What does that have to do with huge chunks of our civilizations living in deserts?

    Please go explain to the 15,000,000 people in Tehran, or the 25,000,000 dependent on the Red River, that socialism will, somehow, provide water.

      By any metric, which “huge chunks” of civilizations live in deserts? Deserts are inhospitable and the vast majority of people don’t live in them. The major problem in access to clean, drinking water worldwide isn’t availability of water itself, but lack of development.

      Tehran is a very special case because the city is 1200m above sea level, how many multi-million cities are located in arid plateaus?
