 But before we left cities to go somewhere else or society disappeared. Now wouldn’t it be better to look for alternative measures? 
 Yeah I think there are a lot of alternative measures already being used. What is the last city that had to actually be abandoned because of water shortage? I think it’s more a news story headline / fear mongering than anything else. They were saying this about Mexico City this year. 
 Let’s hope it’s just a passing drought. I do worry because I’m already starting to feel the effects.
