This kind of debate is only going to get worse in most of the southern
states. Cross-basin discharges are another issue.

Unfortunately most people can't see the relationship between our development
patterns and these environmental issues.

Smart Growth would eliminate water use only to the degree it gets rid of
grass and plants and open space. If you are saying that too many people
live near the coasts and should be sent back to Utica and Buffalo, then you
need to say so.

I am saying we pave over area that needs to maintain its vegetation in order
to be able to filter water into the aquifers.

Yea,Minneapolis is trying to get water to sink through people's yards
and parks instead of having it run off into the drain.

The water has been going into lakes but Federal Regulations are requiring
them to dump the water and send it to Florida to protect a couple of
endangered species. I assume you know that filling man made lakes with
water run off is common in the south specifically to save water for drought
times.

Or the even more obvious connection between too many people and
resource depletion. Even educated folks who should know better don't
like to touch that story.

When animals breed out of control we call it overpopulation.
When humans breed out of control it's called "economic growth."
