The Breet Report

Water Wars are not just for the forward thinking impaired any longer, but real and expanding to all individuals, even here in the United States.

California is a hot bed (right now) of bringing the attention of water wars to the doorstep.  What is the most famous line – just because it has not happened here, does not mean it is going to happen. <Whoever came up with that, thank you!>

Water wars are being turned into a political crapshoot, thus praying on the people and raising the fear factor of “no water and no food.”(1)  Who are the people blaming?  Political advisors in the area.

The wake up call to this issue is not political but environmental. The aspect of never running out and take it while you can, apparently only works in the short term.  Every single state needs a long term solution developed, by their respective communities, and then take the action.

Two-Cents To Add

While neither a Democrat, Republican, Liberal, or undecided, this – the blame game – needs to cease and desist – proto.  Instead of blaming and locking the water issues up in the court system, move the farms. That’s right. It’s a valley and water is not suppose to be in the area. It kind of makes it harder to pump it in to make fertile and vibrant crops in the long run.  Why? The technology has not been kept up to prevent harmful waste (lead or whatever pipe is being used) from contaminating the yield.  (Then throw on the pesticides.)

The United States has sprawled for way to long, believing that it could never fail. The only way it could have never failed – is if - the environment had been taken care of and not crapped on.  (Yes, an emotionally charged entry/opinion)  There are other crops and water wars happening in the United States. California is not the only case where water and food will be an issue, but the entire country.

How do we fix what we have left?

Reducing a lot of water waste! The problem is – as near as it can be seen – every one seems to be waiting for someone else to take the lead.  That way if that small step does not work, the blame game, can re-start.  How rude? Want to have action, but no one wants to take the step.  Seems mind numbing….

(So) How is water waste reduced?

Does the grass really need to be watered for that green look?  Mother Nature seemed to have a pretty good grasp of giving everything needed till pipes and construction happened…sprawling.  Forward thinking and communication — with the ability to peacefully disagree — but coming up with sound resolution to maintain water for the masses.  This has to happen.  There can be no more waiting.

Communities should not be pitted against each other for water and quality of life.  There would be no fear of running out, if the idea of working together – no matter the “class” – would just work together.
