Sam, I totally agree with your comments of growing things like rice in California. Market pricing of water would solve that problem. And yes, the Israelis have shown how to optimally use water. As I am sure you know I think politicians in California are nuts and my only hope is that they are left to deal with their fiscal idiocy all by themselves - along especially with Illinois. As for the Great Lakes level, the level varies all of the time. Of note, I have not heard any commentary about lake level here. When I was a kid my family went to the upper Peninsula of Michigan to vacation at Little Bay de Noc. The water level would vary wildly. I remember one year the resort owner had to get his dock area dredged to enable people to put their boats in the water and use the lake. This spring has had a huge amount of rain. My lawn is beautiful. Rain is good as I do not have to turn on the sprinkler system. Trust me there is no drought here. Winter had a lot of snow as well. As for those who do not want a straw put in the Great Lakes - well that is a political problem we have here. It is an issue totally without reason. The way I see it is that the local politicians think if a company or whatever needs water - let them come here. It is seen as an asset we have to exploit that someday may lead to migration of industrial activity to our region. Bob
