    The document discusses concerns about water usage and management. It notes that agriculture uses 70% of fresh water supply and has expanded into new areas through irrigation. However, homeowners are told to conserve water for lawns. The document argues that water resources should be allocated fairly among all users, rather than solely based on ability to pay. It also suggests that agriculture will need to adopt more sustainable practices like hydroponics and water recycling to deal with future water crises.

    Seriously though, agriculture uses 70% of the fresh water supply. Agribusiness has expanded into areas
    that could never have supported farms without massive irrigation. I have seen huge rice fields in
    Sacramento, flooded with water, while California homeowners are told to let their lawns die and not
    flush the toilet everytime they pee. The water supply has to be aportioned fairly among all users, not
    sold only to the highest bidder. You can't expect industry or agriculture to care about the public, that is
    the job of good governance.

    Great documentaries! Very important issue!

    I’m certain there will be a water war between India and Pakistan.

    The inevitable water crisis will call for strict conservative measures.

    Agriculture will need to convert to hydroponics, drip irrigation and water recycling ponds, that catch and
    reuse water for irrigation.
    Water loss due to evaporation prevention.

    Industry, and nuclear power cooling, will need to build underground water recycle cooling cisterns, that
    recycle and cool and reuse the same water it uses.

    This will also prevent our vital water source from getting polluted by industry and nuclear
    contamination.

    Every country should nationalize their water by force if necessary. Money should not be enough to
    appropriate a vital natural resource.

    Whatever water we have, should belong to all of us.

    Please show this to the Countries that do not care about climate change and only care about their own
    commercial gains (USA, China, Russia, India, Brazil etc) We can all do our own little bit but until we all
    come together we are just wiping out humanity. Forget conferences and treaties that nobody sticks to, it
    really needs a global human togetherness to survive.

    When I was a young boy about 40 years ago I remember when they first started bottling water and I
    thought to myself who would buy bottled water it's free and it's everywhere now at over 50 I buy it
    regularly and that's all I will do is buy it because groundwater or city water is not fit to drink
