Buckle up, here in Australia, every couple of years a political party has the bright idea of damming water in Australia’s tropical north and pumping it across 1000km of desert to Australia’s farmland regions
I don’t know if you remember a couple years ago when they were finding barrels of bodies, guns, and other fun things in Lake Mead (near Vegas)? That was drying up because the river that feeds it has been getting diverted for farm use (and probably Nestlé, too). It’s a huge problem in California, as well. Whole ecosystems are disappearing due to damming and diverting of rivers and streams. It’s not at all sustainable
