Sorry I hit the wrong button before I was finished!
Two of the biggest sponsors of this water Conference were Coca Cola and Coors/Molson. They both gave rosy presentations about how well water markets work in their operations around the world! They buy the water for their operations and everything is just peachy!
One of the main themes of this conferences was how we all need to "conserve" and "collaborate" so water use is "efficient" and "sustainable"!
It was very telling that agriculture got singled out again and again, as a very "inefficient" and "unsustainable" user of water? The conference format was to break all us peons into "workshops" to come to some consensus and solutions.....I was in the agriculture group. The "presenter" had all these charts about ag products and water requirements.....guess what?......beef was about the worst! About 40 times more requirement than lettuce!
I suspect the fix is already in on a water market and the plans are drawn up? We'll get our so-called say this fall (right in the middle of harvest...naturally) and then the government will have a "mandate" to impose a value for THEIR water?
All for the public good...of course!
