Re: Water: Where will it come from in 2050?
The issue this doesn't take into affect is improvements in technology. Both recycling and desalination (sp?).
For example, if we find an economic way to turn ocean water into fresh water, supply goes way up.
Also, how is per/capita usage figured. Everyone in the world doesn't use as much fresh water as those in water plentiful regions. If water usage is brought under control, then it is simply a matter of distribution, as Bill said above.
