Obvious, I know, to point out that cities are built around fresh water, and sometimes around oceans too. That is the course of human civilization and migrations. As mentioned before in our chats, China's claims to the upper sources of the mighty Mekong river for dams and such is a colossal threat to millions of people in countries downstream. For example. I feel private for profit ag water "claims" are significant political timebombs. Local community impacts all the way up to geopolitics in the coming decades will bring conflicts to the UN and possibly bloody battlefields based on fresh water shortages in the developing world -- as well as refugee displacement, as ocean rise. There are/will be solutions but they cost $$$ and the question of who will pay (money and habits) is not trivial. As with human-caused climate change. JMHO
