There's not a whole lot of risk that the Seine will start flowing through the US
The "local" clouds also usually follow a pattern, this is why my local mountains get snow replacing every year, which is the source of my local rivers
However a bottling company could easily ship bottled water to a location that is likely never going to return to the local water table. Ever heard of Fiji brand water?
- Aerroon 3y agoWhere does that local water come from? Rain. Where did the rain cloud get the water? It evaporated, likely from the ocean. How did the water get into the ocean? It flowed down from lakes into rivers etc. The local water table might fall, but the water itself is hardly local unless you're drilling for it.
- xattt 3y ago> Where does that local water come from? Rain There’s an equilibrium that’s achieved in a given watershed with local weather patterns. There might be ebbs or flows over the course of a year, but it’s reliable and predictable, and can be used sustainably. If local weather patterns change and there’s a significant strain on a watershed, the water table will drain to a level that’s not recoverable within a human lifespan.
