Are we reaping what we sow?

Yes, we are reaping what we sow.
For starters, some of the cities with the biggest population increases are in regions with water shortages. For example, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. People are moving without considering the natural resources available in the area to which they're moving.
On top of that, global warming is causing increasing droughts in the southwest and other areas. The American southwest is in the middle of a decade-long drought which is going to continue to last for many decades to come.
The USA is the largest contributor to global warming, yet we're the only developed country not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, and we have to be dragged into any greenhouse gas emissions reduction agreements kicking and screaming.
We're just starting to see the consequences of our actions now. It will get much worse in the near future.

Wow! Talk about people who believe the history of the world starts when they were born!
The south east experiences droughts often. The rain fall isn't static year to year.
Back in 1980 the water levels were at record lows. This is at a time when the population was 1/4th of what they were today.
The drought ended, the reservoirs filled in just 3 months.
This is just how nature works. Man has nothing to do with it.

Rashid, what the hell is the element on your existence? the two way, capacity beverages often contain a tonne of sugar, exceptionally the greater decrease priced no kind capacity beverages. i think of a million an afternoon is quite plenty tolerable, yet even then you definately're ingesting a great style of sugar, in excess of what you would be. in case you workout normally this could not be a project, in case you do not, purely decrease lower back slightly, all of it helps.

i don't get your question sure many areas have water restrictions could be from a variety of reasons from water shortages to filtration systems not able to keep up to demands

Dr. j is right. I live in the drought stricken southeast and it rained hard for the past few days and now the rivers and creeks were I live are almost overflowing. No water problems here.
