Published today in Global Environmental Change, the paper identifies several hotspots around the globe where “hydro-political issues,” in the parlance of the researchers, are likely to give rise to geopolitical tensions, and possibly even conflict. The authors of the new report, a team from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), say the escalating effects of climate change, in conjunction with ongoing trends in population growth, could trigger regional instability and social unrest in regions where freshwater is scarce, and where bordering nations have to manage and share this increasingly scarce commodity.

Because all the people who dont haz the abundant fresh water are coming here for it? :bowrofl:

That makes slightly more sense, but the amount of water we have, shouldn't be too much of an issue...unless 1/3 of the worlds population decides they want to live in Gary or some shit...

Have you seen the rivers around this joint, maybe fresh but far from drinkable

I would assume it's much easier/cost effective/energy efficient to clean dirty water than it is to distill saltwater at this point

Judging by the map, essentially the entire east coat and west coast are coming this way, so imagine this area with LA and NY's populations added to it.
