The idea that fresh, drinkable water exists "in plenty" is extremely off base. Humans need vast quantities of fresh water to allow modern-day life. Furthermore it is incredibly expensive to provide fresh water at any meaningful scale when it is not available naturally.
- puranjay 6y agoHumans need vast quantities of fresh water. A human does not. There is "plenty" of water for an individual in nature.
- eru 6y agoHuman industry and agriculture needs lots of water. The numbers are fairly large even for individuals. Humans themselves need fairly small amounts for direct use like eating, drinking, hygiene.
- itsoktocry 6y ago>There is "plenty" of water for an individual in nature. What do you mean by "nature"? Do you own the land where the water is, or do you simply plan on collecting rainwater? Otherwise, you don't own the water. This is a real-life problem that countries and communities the world over are dealing with.

- jeltz 6y agoYes and no. There are huge amounts of fresh drinkable water. It is just that it is in Canada and Russia and not where we have our agriculture. Here in Stockholm we have much more clean water than we ever could use, just like Russia and Canada. Water shortages are local problems. The issue is just that a lot of the world's agriculture are on places with little water.
