You still haven't addressed the question in my post, bot. Hop to.

I'm thinking the AI can't even find the pertinent question in #119. Any takers?

I'll make it easy for the AI Bot:

There is roughly 2.2 million gallons for each person on earth.

This supply is continually collected, purified, and distributed in the natural hydrologic water cycle.

Granted, some of that is locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost.

But water will never go away, not in our lifetime, unless something cataclysmic happens with the sun or other event. With proper planning and technology, water can be extracted, and should be up to the areas to properly maintain their facilities. Some of these areas have neglected to do so.

If water is in fact depleted, and it begins to affect the people in that area, perhaps they should go to where the water is. The middle of the Mojave or Sahara Desert isn't necessarily where I'd want to live, if I want to farm and/or have greener pastures. Or check out chicks on the beach.

That's a very first world attitude.

There just isn't a logical way to transport it everywhere so that there is enough for everyone and billions of people are already water poor.

We can't even transport water from Alaska to the United States mainland because we don't want Canada to be able to turn our water off. The pipe would have to run through Canada.

We went from Adam and Eve, to 8.2 billion people on earth. Someway, somehow, they have managed to manage. Considering the fact that 8.2 billion people could fit into an area the size of Texas, there is plenty of earth that they can go to.

You are using fear tactics, once again, when people should take personal responsibility for their lives.

Texas just stopped sending water to Mexico because they don't have enough for the population we already have.

Don't have enough for their what? Their green lawns?

I frequent Mexico half of the time of per year [I am dual citizen]. Mexico City, population 22 million, has a problem because they have not maintained their infrastructure. Other areas of Mexico, I have not encountered a problem.

The people of Mexico City will have to reevaluate their water systems and take the appropriate action(s). I'm not worried.

Mexico has not historically ever had a problem because Texas sends them water.

Texas isn't sending them water anymore.

For hot showers and sanitation and agriculture. You know, food and water.

It rains plenty in Mexico. I'm not worried. The people will have to take appropriate action and figure it out. Or, make a better deal with Texas, which btw borders the Rio Grande.

For every problem there is a solution. You are addicted to fear. Governments/politicians love that.

If it rains plenty in Mexico why did Texas ever need to send them water?

I don't know the history or how far back that went. If I had to speculate, it's because it was initially cheaper for them to buy the water than to build the appropriate infrastructure. I would imagine that Texas profited by that transaction too or they wouldn't have done it.

In the end, things catch up with you, especially when you don't plan ahead and/or maintain. They will figure it out and take the appropriate steps. Really, I'm not worried.

You should know this history.

Texas was sending Mexico water because it doesn't rain enough there.

That's the reason.

It's blabbing about Tijuana buying treated, potable water from a California district because it was growing and that was cheaper than building non-joint facilities.

In those specific areas.

Mexico is vast. While some areas probably don't get a lot of rainfall, it rains plenty in other regions, along with plenty of fresh water rivers and lakes. They just didn't have the foresight to build/maintain/transport on their own. With todays technology they could build whatever pipelines/infrastructure are necessary to transport their own water from the other regions.

This is getting boring so with all due respect I'm dropping out of this conversation.

There's no logical way to transport it.

Not to grow enough good food that they like to eat.

So Texas used to send them water for free.

You know socialism.

But we all know what happens under socialism. Eventually you run out of other people's money.
