Thirst for Fresh Water Threatens Apalachicola Bay Fisheries - NYTimes.com
Water is going to be the next flash point for international relations and a primary cause of war and human suffering. Aquifers are being depleted and rivers are running dry at their mouths. Thirty years ago I had a friend who made regular trips to Apalachicola and would bring back a trunk full of oysters on ice on which we would feast. Another resource that will be left in a past of plenty that no one thought would be depleted. Not much of old Florida is left. I had the pleasure of experiencing much of it but it is only a story I tell to grandchildren.
