>Water Wars Loom Over California As Farmers Lose Thousands of Jobs: “Wrestling Match Over Who Gets the Water”  - Mac Slavo - ShtfPlan
Ellen Brown should stick to what she understands versus geology, hydrology and financially available technology.
Example:
"With discussions of vast supplies of “primary water” stored deep in the earth’s mantle and scientifically proven schemes to desalinate ocean water or capture greater amounts of rainfall, ..."

1. Water in the mantle is out of reach by a couple hundred miles under the continents.
Just what sci-fi technology will make drilling the wells possible?
Ever hear of a thing called volcanoes?

2. This upper mantle water is hot and a witches brew of chemicals.
Ever hear of hydrothermal deposition of minerals?
Ever look at the chemicals in hot springs, geysers and volcanoes?

3. Desalination of water is expensive in energy demand.
There are two practical choices for desalination: heat and vacuum.
Heating to 100°C requires a goodly bit of energy. Ever boil water before?
Using a vacuum pump to reduce pressure and consequently boiling temperature requires energy again.

4. Any attempt to desalinate enough to replace the lost quantities is for all practical purposes impossible.
Let's see, If we figure just 10 million people drinking and using a paltry 2 gallons each per day requires 20 million gallons a day.
I truly doubt that there are more than a handful that could get by on less than 10 gallon a day.

5. There is only so much rainfall. Any capture just means water is removed from here and transported to there.
How are you going to prevent the rain from hitting the ground?
How are you going to store and transport it to where demand is greatest?
Who decides who gets what?

Who is gonna pay for this?
There will be no deus ex machina.
Academics don't create financially feasible answers. Politicians are knowledgeable enough to know that academics are full of themselves and little else.
With the high levels of debt already carried by state, local and individuals, the vast majority can't even move away.
It is obvious that some folks need to go back to school and demand their money back.

We are about to see what happens when the population of organisms exceed the carrying capacity of the environment.
The water wars will be fought locally between those ants who have a rain barrel and the grasshoppers.

Début de l'article :The announcement that California is rapidly running out of water has put new pressure on our most precious resource that could, in turn, force increased prices and shut down organic food production. Ultimately, it could even threaten the food supply. The recent warnings from NASA hydrologist Jay Famiglietti, based on satellite data of the groundwater supply as it is threatened by the ongoing drought, is only compounding the issues for farmers who have already been driven to cut back production a...
