US Great Plains Ogallala reservoir will drain in 20 yrs
this underground supply of water is something like an ellipse of size 600 miles by 300 miles
Oggy is responsible for most of grain production in USA

San Joaquin Valley is seeing a gradual rise in salt and selenium levels
each is deadly to crop growth and development
this effect is not reversible, nor can it be stopped
perhaps 20 yrs remains for massive California food crops

US Colorado River has diverted 90% of water
not sure, but Hoover Dam is one dam upstream
Mexico must be content with the remaining 10%, sorry, NOT

Libya built an aquaduct to tap the North Saharan source
cost was $32 billion
it should supply water for twice as long as Ogallala

I expect later this decade for wars to be fought over water
which naturally it bad for economies and good for gold

gold/silver is for financial world
oil/methane gas is for commercial world
water/air is for life itself
