I was pointing out that for much of the world, including the part I live in and I suspect the part he lives in, water is not priceless at all. It is a commodity. Failure to recognize this leads to all sorts of ridiculous policy and rhetoric.
In my own area, there are shortages, but that is because we refuse to allow supply and demand determine the price of water (which *can* be done so as to ease the burden on the poor). People tell us to take shorter showers and then don't want to implement water reuse at less than a dollar for 1000 liters. Carl
