Our most precious resource, water.

Over the last several years, there has been a series of global conferences to address the growing demand for our most precious resource, water. I just attended the 5th annual conference. I also want to note with the second link the interest of the investment community, which in imo will greatly influence the geopolitical consideration towards conflict, rather than solutions as investment qualifies ownership. The attached video produced by Fidelity outlines the near term and the future impact of water on the investment opportunities to be realized. http://thinkingbig.fidelity.com/

That's an eye-opener. I never realized China's ratio was that high.

Sounds like China has a good case for water redistribution. Of course, the 635 gals for one hamburger strikes me as odd. What did we do with the rest of the cow?
