Virtual water is water that goes into the production of things*. Personally, I don’t believe virtual water is exactly accurate, but if I could find just a bit more proof that it’s genuine. It has certainly given me something to think about, but it hasn’t altered any decisions yet.
*‘things’ is a broad term, covering almost all food products, and everything that is made out of anything that has ever consumed water.

There have been wars fought over recourses, like oil, but water seems a tad absurd. One day, if countries ever run out or start running extremely low on water, there could be wars fought, but not in my lifetime. Of course, if things like desalination plants and wells work properly, there shouldn’t be a single war over water for thousands of years. (That is, if we survive 2012)

If Australia can find a way to make desalination plants work well, by keeping the salt produced, and using less energy to harvest the fresh water, then desalination plants should work just fine, and we won’t need to worry about water quite so much for a long time. The water should be used for the closest areas, and the areas further inland can use the water that is currently being sent to the cities.
