If people are willing to pay as much for water as they do for oil or gas, can we use oil infrastructure (tankers, pipelines, trains, etc) to transport water?

- EricBurnett 10y agoCan we assume they'd be willing? Here in Canada I use orders of magnitude more water than oil products, and would be willing to pay commensurately less.
