Ya'll need to read George Orwell's 1984... At least it gives us an idea of where things are going. It's happening ma frens. Wars have been fought all over the world over water rights. The powers that be are intent on controlling the water, both ground and surface supplies. Do not be fooled that it is brain dead politicians doing this for a popular cause. It has an intentional end to it all. Use your imagination here, but postpone it? Yes. Stop it? Doubtful. On my 10 acres, I already pay for "metered" water out of my (very) rural well if I want to keep more than 1/4 acre "green" and I am not allowed to use my pond water for any watering, though my cows are still "allowed" to drink from it. If I sound the "conspiracy therorist" fool, look at your local history concerning water rights, and then tune back into this subject in 10 years nation-wide. My point will have been proven. Sorry. No good news in this arena, from my view point anyway.
