Water resource issues in a desert are a regional issue (and a definite problem given a significant fraction of the US population has chosen to live in areas which lack the water resources to support the current population) but global water resources are a seperate issue, and not an actual problem. Desalination plants are an easy solution, at least in areas that haven't regulated their electrical production industry out the wazoo (like say, California). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
