I don’t think this is actually as bad as people say.
It’s not that we won’t have drinking water. Municipal water use is tiny! And provided with enough incentives (higher costs) people will use less water. And this can be done in very reasonable ways by issuing water tiered rates.
Agricultural water use, is a whole different topic. However, until we can incentives better water management on our massive agricultural lands, it’s only going to get worse.
I am interested in your view on this. I feel like am on your side here. People tend to be too shortsighted and misinformed. Or even willingly close their eyes in light of the dangers we are facing.
We are approaching a big shift here that is potentially threatening the basis for most life on earth as it currently exists. That includes humanity. It seems that many people need reminding that we are living in a system of dependencies. And if the pillars our life depends on start to crumble, so will at first our quality of life, then the fundaments of life itself. It has to be said as clear as this: Life for humanity on earth is not a guarantee. And we are working on making it impossible.

I think the problem is that it will be almost impossible to change policies on water use that will change the economic outlook of so many people.
As expected of a beehaw user, the perfect liberal answer.
