Jack,

Good point. There’s something just wrong about a verdant lawn in Scottsdale, AZ.

Thanks for the link. I had forgotten to mention privatization, but you’re right about its problems.

The SF Chronicle has an op-ed today by filmmakers and writers Deborah Kaufman and Alan Snitow that summarizes some of the issues (link: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2006/03/20/EDGU9GJD0K1.DTL ). Wednesday is World Water Day (link: http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/worldwaterday.html ), and San Francisco's KQED will be showing Kaufman's and Snitow's 2004 film "Thirst" at 11 PM on the 22nd. Perhaps other PBS stations will also carry it. Privatization of water is also a big threat.

Golf Courses. They drink an incredible amount of water. Big farms and… Golf Courses. They drink an incredible amount of water.
