Ah, too bad. I was ready to roll out the big gun and call you a poopyhead.



Living in an area with an amazing abundance of water means I don't give it a thought - not on a local level, at least. However, I read an interesting article just the other week on China's goal to build a whole slew of new dams, including one that'll be much larger than the Three Gorges Dam, on rivers which will eventually pass through countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia before making their way to the ocean. The thrust of the article was on how those countries would likely suffer from dwindling water supplies when the dams are finished.

Oh, and National Geographic did a story not too long ago on the way organized crime in Pakistan controls the sale of water in the slums there. A depressing but worthwhile read.
