According to my friends at CalTech, in California the propensity to consume water is increasing at such a rate that they will exhaust their own and all surrounding resources for 1000 miles in about 11 years.
On a further note, the man who can cheaply turn sea water into fresh water will rule the world. I believe if we allow biotech to develop, we will have a chance to avoid this problem. For example, I have heard that jellyfish tissues could be used as a highly efficient biological filter for desalinization. ST
