Speak for yourself. i lived through a draught in dc about five years ago. We were even instructed not to water our lawns. We have suffered as much as anyone. If only we could make somekind of joshua foustian deal with the devil!

We in the US truly have no idea how lucky we are to have water so readily available.

Read a great post on Aquanomics today regarding water rights in the U.S. that proposes the introduction of water markets run by efficacious institutions that would, hopefully, involve the raising of the price of water. Prices are the best allocator of scarce resources and this certainly includes water. Right now, government is getting its hands too dirty with its management perhaps — worldwide!

Oi. I’m pretty embarrassed to admit I missed that (or forgot it, since NE is in my RSS Reader). Though, notably, Marat didn’t mention the problems in Batken—hardly a failing, since it hadn’t happened yet. I’m grasping for straws that I’m not a complete hack
