And now the badly understood practice of widespread fracking are not only rapidly draining regional aquafiers, but also contaiminating the water table along with it. Once that happens, you are going to have whole stretches of the Midwest that will be unable to sustain human life - forced mass migrations of the like not seen since the Dust Bowl.

I have felt this way about water and the wasting of it for years, due to living in Southern California. And btw, happy birthday!
