As Buckminster Fuller so eloquently illustrated, it's not a problem with resources, it's a problem of distribution.

Plus we pollute the Great Lakes like there's no tomorrow.

I see no way around this except to continue to build large cities in the desert.

If only we could use something to transport large amounts of liquids long distances.

Brilliant, I wonder why no one has thought of this before?

Lake Superior is now potable again. In most parts of the coastline you can walk out about 10 feet to where the turbidity is low and just go ahead and drink the water.

The rest of the Great Lakes are unusable for many applications without processing the water first.
