HEY UNGODLY-SMART PEOPLE If you're aware of the crises rapidly approaching in the arid areas of the US, especially Texas, about water shortage, then I thank you for not leaving it out. But Rogue is going into 4-H Congress [against his will] and asked me to ask you guys (more like me asking you guys so I can sound smarter) about what would sound good. Some of his ideas for such are: A water grid similar to the power grid, not exact, where water is monitored and controlled, and is allocated to agriculture and cities based on need. 'Credit' can be built up by a water-to-production ratio, especially in agriculture, where if someone has a large amount of farming land, but isn't producing very much, then water will be steadily lowered to force water efficiency and better production, while those with better production to water will receive more water based on whether or not production rises with it. In addition, people, especially the richer spectrum of people, can have property and items seized from them by a sort of secondary government specifically for resource allocation and control to heavily discourage one from simply buying up all the water rights, and then draining everything from the area, similar to what Las Vegas did to a community. They bought up all the water, pumped it all out, and instead of returning unused water to the original owners, as per the contract, they pumped it into the sea and left the farming community to starve and die without their water. Plus, the use of a very communistic system to re-allocate water from water-rich areas to areas that are in heavy drought or Stage 6 (I think) areas where water is a major problem, such as present day Fort Worth. Water collection through both recycling used water and by rain collection in the form of a secondary system similar to a sewer under cities to collect rainwater, instead of it all running into the sewers and into the sea or some other area where water can't be easily collected. Basically, efficient water conservation.
