On the one hand, people have been talking doom about water since at least 1978, so doom may not be the case. And on the other hand apparently it is common practice for oil companies to use fresh water to fill the spaces in the ground where oil is located, to force the oil to rise. And still I don't know how conserving water here will get it to places where the aquifers are going dry.
And, you know?
