Reply to comment by 8to24 in U.S. Streams Are Drying Up. Data showed that in the South and West, streamflow droughts got longer between 1951 and 2020, regardless of threshold. Worse yet, droughts in these regions are becoming more intense by Wagamaga

Capitalism will solve it once the price of water increases enough to justify building desalinization plants to make more money and not a second sooner. Look forward to trading fresh water on the futures market.
