Sent a link to this story to two friends in the Lake Michigan Basin who know the territory well:
Waukesha County is pushing for Lake Michigan water as hard as someone crossing the desert without a canteen.
But about a century ago, the only thing people knew about Waukesha was its famous spring water, bubbling up in large quantities from the earth.

One of the friends responded:
Let 'em go thirsty.
The other said:
Tell them to learn to conserve water before tapping Lake Michigan.
Of course, Michigan needs to learn to conserve too.
