Something I forgot to talk about and is totally my bad, is the usage of fresh water in regard to businesses rather than the geopolitics of it. In regards to the US, many experts say living in the Southwest, particularly states like Arizona, Nevada, California, and New Mexico is an irresponsible thing to do and “was not meant for sprawling cities”. This is the same for dry countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East without renewable fresh water resources too obviously. Also, golf courses and front/backyards in these places that use water intensive plants/grass like Kentucky Bluegrass has also been seen as a bad move, due to how much water it requires. Currently, 70% of fresh water withdrawals are used for agriculture, 20% for industrial purposes, and 10% for municipal(human) purposes such as drinking water, showering, washing our hands, etc. What we need is innovation in the Agricultural industry, which many scientists are currently trying to work on! As for why we can't boil the sea water for fresh water: We can, it's just very expensive, takes a ton of energy, and is horrible for the environment. There's a reason very few desalination plants still exist, it's just not a good method. Again, sorry for forgetting to add this in, I tend to focus on the geopolitical side, while for these types of topics I should probably focus on the entire picture, but now I know!

Can't you just boil the salt water, collect the vapors and let it condense into a liquid again without the salt? Rain water is fresh, again, just have to boil it first.

This is a obvious solution and there’s a reason why it’s not widespread. It’s because boiling water takes a lot of energy and it would create so much pollution.

Lol yeah we're the ones who got shit wrong. Why would the millions of people who already depend on the water supply from the great lake's give it up to countless millions that look down their noses at us and expect out families to go without so they can survive? Should have been smart enough not to live in a fucking desert but shit they think they can power 40 million peoples homes with nothing but wind and solar. Also don't believe in gender. Real high IQ shit going on out west.

China has already started the South-North Water Transfer Project which channels fresh water from Southern China (where there's lots of rainfall) to the drier Northern China, which means Beijing will always have fresh water

Have you ever heard of Israel or more specifically have you ever heard of how Israel fixed its water problem. Israel had only one source of water the Kineret. Now Israel uses most of its water from the sea using about 4 plants to desalinate the sea water. Israel also recycles waste water and turns it to drinkable water, but it doesn’t use it for that propose but it does use it for agriculture (just to be safe). Israel is also selling the technology to countries like Cyprus. Israel generates 20% more water than what they need which means water doesn’t effect us (Israelis) anymore, and we can use this water freely without any problem, and it’s also very cheap compared to other countries.

I live in Cabo, Mexico and there is 18 golf camps, and throughout all the year we have water only 1 or 2 days so we fill up our tinacos or cisterns and then we have to wait between 3 to 6 weeks to have water again, sometimes we run out of water and have to buy it from "piped trucks" (I don't know how to say it in English).

“Global warming” 😂 I’d very much like the earth to warm up a degree or two: increased biodiversity, longer human life spans, better crop yields, increased area suitable for wildlife, increased spread of plant life, and the list goes on and on…

@:((; ʟᴜᴄᴋsᴜᴄᴋ_&_xᴇʟᴇɴɪʌ :)); So Antarctica and Greenland contain 99% of Earth's freshwater resources that is correct, but sadly freshwater only makes up 3% of all the water on earth. And only .5% of the fresh water is available, meaning 2.5% of the earth's fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost.
