Water Wars, you ready? Stay moist, brehs...

[Orbital-Fetus]

i believe that we will see global conflicts over fresh water within the next 20 years.
we already have states beefing with each other over water from the Colorado river.
Cali is always hanging on by a thread whenever i see their reservoirs. shyt ain't looking
good for the future.

i live in NYS and there is an embarrassment of riches so far as water goes. we have 2 of
the Great Lakes (largest fresh water supply on Earf), the Finger Lakes, Lake Champlain,
the Niagara & Hudson River. our water game is . i went out west and saw AZ, NM,
Grand Canyon, etc. it was beautiful but i saw the North East through new eyes when i returned.
the desolate, lifeless landscape out west was breathtaking but when i got back to NYS and saw
all of the life... i felt like a fool for not appreciating what is all around me every day.

Its gonna happen to 3rd world countries, first.

@ZoeGod and @FAH1223 can go into extremely great details about this.

Chinatown the movie was made about this .. it was a war

William Mulholland (September 11, 1855 – July 22, 1935) was an Irish American self-taught civil engineer who was responsible for building the infrastructure to provide a water supply that allowed Los Angeles to grow into the largest city in California. As the head of a predecessor to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Mulholland designed and supervised the building of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, a 233-mile-long (375 km) system to move water from Owens Valley to the San Fernando Valley. The creation and operation of the aqueduct led to the disputes known as the California Water Wars. In March 1928, Mulholland's career came to an end when the St. Francis Dam failed just over 12 hours after he and his assistant gave it a safety inspection.

Syrian Civil War, though a long time coming, was sparked off due to an uncharacteristic drought in the region at the time which led to the first protests

Instead of standardizing the technology to clean salt water, these dumbass world leaders would rather wait until we gotta bomb our own borders to keep your neighbors, ALL OF THEM, out of your water supply


As if humans dying of dehydration will still give any fukks about dying from a bullet.


As a fukkin politician, this could be the biggest push possible for telling the world we all need to help each other. This would literally give us the ability to put money in a lot of regular ass people pockets to build this shyt around the whole world.

You think Putin won't get rid of some nukes if his whole country is dying from dehydration . Yea Vlad we got you, hoe ass nikka. Now sit yo ass down and back off the super toughman shyt homie. We will bomb yo ass quick as hell now brodie

 

[Wiseborn]

shyt is already happening. The Syrian Civil war is a water war so is the conflict in the Sahel. They say it's about religion but all sides in both wars are muslim.

That’s a lose/lose situation. If they normalize the technology to make salt water safe to drink, those oceans will be empty in no time, fukking with the greedy people in this world. The United States would try to find a way to take over and capitalize off of every drop of that water. We would know very quickly if the Mariana Trench is truly the deepest spot in the ocean.

NY is an extremely blessed state as far as water goes. Once you step outside of the 5 boroughs all you see is green. Lots of rain and reservoirs and rivers. That is a stark contrast to what’s happening out west.

It won't happen. What you're likely to see is a sharp increase in political assassinations. During times of existential crises, you see people popping up with nothing to lose and a lot to say and they finna talk with weapons.

A water crisis should not be possible when there are desalination technologies that turn salt water into fresh water. Vertical farms and GMO crops that need less water to produce a high yield. The technology and means to do it is there. We could have genetically modified trees that suck up more carbon than the regular kind. We can integrate plants into new buildings to cool them and pull out carbon from the atmosphere. We can be significantly smarter with how we use the limited amount of water that's on earth.

The problem is the political actors and the men with money. The politicians are beholden to the money men and the money men aren't willing to inconvenience themselves in the slightest even if it means the existence of humanity continuing.

So what you'll see is more assassinations because people won't want to wait anymore for action. You might see eco fascist groups winning elections and you might potentially in the worst case scenario see France style revolutions where anyone making over 80k is a target.
