Parched USA states may initiate water wars

According to The Canadian Press thirsty USA states could start “water wars” in a fight for access to fresh water from the Canadian and U.S. Great Lakes. Water issues that are currently emerging will develop into bitter conflicts in the not too distand future when those dry states become increasingly desperate, said Milton Clark, a senior health and science adviser for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “They’re not living within their water budget and they look to the Great Lakes (as a solution)” said Environment Canada’s Linda Mortsch.

GreenTerraFirma believes we need to look at the water requirements for all products we produce and consume. Certainly beef production consumes a very large quantity of water per pound of beef (2500 gals per lb as stated by TreeHugger.com). Should we eat more soy beans, chicken and fish?
