Projected <strong>Change</strong>s in Runoff by 2050<br />

• We can consider our available water. Most people get<br />

their drinking water from runoff. What this means is that<br />

water falls as precipitation (either snow or rain) and this<br />

is collected and then used directly or stored in reservoirs.<br />

• This means that water could be the biggest political,<br />

social and environmental issue of the future since the<br />

transportation of water is very difficult.<br />

• We may be looking at “Water Wars” in the future.<br />
