Nice Find! Massive Aquifer discovered in Kenya

[Windigo]

Um, I also know that Nestle isn't just pulling from the Lakes but from the aquifer at a rate greater than the replenishment. Um, I also know that evaporation and consumption aren't mutually exclusive but rather cumulative so what was your point?

Big diff here is that BC doesn't regulate or monitor groundwater withdrawal (like WTF? positively 3rd world or what)

At least until Nestle gets the rights to it.

More likely Japan/China

although I suspect it'll be divied up along tribal lines

Nah, Nestle will suck it dry like they're doing to the Great Lakes-upper Mississippi aquifer or the Fraser in BC.

China will by up the rights to any newly arrable land created from irrigation and grow crops purely for export to the Chinese market and the locals will be buggered.  It's going on all over Africa.

And Quadrilla will poison the water supply by fracking underneath it.

Ironically, let's hope that Nestle and China get there first... :o :-\
