I'm thinking Great Lakes region, Canada... places with plenty of water
that are willing to exchange it for money. Just like oil is now.

One fly in that ointment, we've already got water bottlers in line ahead
exporting some of that water.

And Canada told us once to go pound sand.

There are actually plans to capture and to icebergs to China for water,
no kidding.

Lol.

http://www.theatlantic.com/technolog...chemes/243364/

Every few years for the past couple centuries, even before the
large-scale cultivation of marijuana, this idea occurs to someone: What
if we towed an iceberg from the poles, where there are no people, to
some dry, populous place and then melted it into freshwater?

In some cases, that person has ginned up a company to try to make it
happen. In others, they've written reports for the RAND Corporation or
turned the idea into the basis for a thriller mass market paperback.

Long-distance iceberg towing is one of those ideas that will not die but
never really springs to life either. It exists in a kind of
technological purgatory, dressed up in whatever technology is
fashionable during an epoch and resold to a happily gullible media.

This happened again this week when Georges Mougin told the world that
newfangled computer models just happened to confirm what he'd long
thought: that icebergs could be transported economically to Africa.

How do we take water only from the US "side" of the great lakes, exactly?

The same way we remove oil from one side of a boarder.
