The Coming Water Crisis: What's behind the Water Shortages?

The Great Lakes are Shrinking.

The Colorado River is running dry.

Sections of the Mississippi River were closed down during the Drought of 2012.

Billionaires are buying up water in the USA and elsewhere.

What’s happening to useable and drinking water in the USA?  An updated article from 2007.

THE COMING U.S. WATER SHORTAGE: LATEST DIRE PREDICTIONS

The next shortage for the United States that some predict? Oil? Gold? Food?

How about water. Those living in parts of many western states already know this as old news, but it’s something new to many parts of the country.

Three states: California, Texas and Forida account for over a quarter of all the water used in the U.S. The government projects that as many as 36 states could face water shortages in the next 5 years.

More from the story by Brian Skoloff, at the AP:
[The linked article "Many States Seen as Facing Water Shortage"  is not longer available.]

An epic drought in Georgia threatens the water supply for millions. Florida doesn’t have nearly enough water for its expected population boom. The Great Lakes are shrinking. Upstate New York’s reservoirs have dropped to record lows. And in the West, the Sierra Nevada snowpack is melting faster each year.

[FROM THE ARCHIVES:Original article: October 2007 updated on November 28, 2013]

The AP story reported that “The government projects that at least 36 states will face water shortages within five years because of a combination of rising temperatures, drought, population growth, urban sprawl, waste and excess.” Since this article was published in October 2007, that “five years” projected date has come and gone (October 2012).

But does the missed deadline mean that the problem of a nationwide water shortage in the USA does not exist? Why does the Corporate Media have the water shortage narrative in their extended media playlist? It’s clear that the powers that be want the masses to be aware of a coming shortage.

The AP article also claimed that the cost of renovating and replacing water pipelines alone could cost the nation “$300 billion over 30 years.”

In one way this figure dates the story. In an age where the government runs yearly deficits in the trillions, $300 billion no longer seems like such a scary number.

The AP story was finished off by a quote from a Florida utilities director who claimed that “Unfortunately, there’s just not going to be any more cheap water.”

The AP also cited such events as a “30-year dry spell” in Australia as proof that the times of cheap water were behind us.

The story goes on to tie the predicted shortages, with so many other things these days, to that boogiest of men: global warming/climate change. So another ill chicken is supposedly coming home to roost.

The oceans will rise, covering which states? Weren’t Florida and California included? So while 20 feet under water, they’ll be bereft of water. Talk about an inconvenient truth: these dire predictions from climate changers are going to require a clearinghouse to keep from contradicting each other.

Perhaps good news will come, as it often does in the mail. One suspects however that after battling the forces of a torrential downpour, the only thing that’s there is likely the water bill.

But can drinking water vanish?  What or who is behind the shrinking of the Great Lakes, the buying and drying up of water sources and state laws which make it illegal for citizens to collect rainwater?  And why does the Corporate Media dedicate such resources to ensure that we know about the coming water shortages?
