Not really in part of the world and in the desert.
Water is really a very important (strategic) resource and
maybe one day it will be as half price of the oil in
certain place.

There are on-going discussions between Singapore and
Malaysia regarding the water supply problem. Singapore
has to set up backup plans which costs a lot of Money.
1) From Malaysia (very cheap now, but Malaysia want to
raise the cost)
2) From rain-fall (not enough)
3) From sea water (rather expensive now)
4) From waste water (called New Water here), mostly for
industrial use (wafer fab) but they may be mixed into
tap water.

Xiaofan

Water is dirt cheap.
