Everybody lives in an area with potable water. Without potable water, they
die.

That's nice, but it doesn't mean there's enough. There are places where
people are JUST BARELY able to get as much water as they need, which creates
very tense interactions with neighboring countries. Yeah....the water's
there somewhere, but some countries don't have the resources to get it where
it needs to be.

Right. Or, build a pipe line. Or, as the Shah or Iran was considering,
float icebergs from the polar regions and let them melt for fresh water.
Installing low-flush toilets is not going to help anybody.

One of the latest hairbrain schemes is to ship water from the Great Lakes.
Fortunately, a couple of organizations have put the brakes on the idea
pending further study.
