I may be over-simplifying this but (re: Water Shortages)

but is it time that we began thinking of a "Strategic Water Reserve"? I'm not sure how it would work, but it seems that there could be better things to do with all that snow in the Northeast than just plowing it into the ocean or the bay?

Science was never one of my strong subjects, but I guess that most rain and snow eventually works it's way into the aquifers, or is evaporated and gets back into the atmosphere, but it seems like there are areas that have too much rain, snow, etc., and other areas that have too little. If we could somehow capture the excess in one area and use in another, it would seem to make sense.

We have a strategic oil reserve, maybe it's time for a strategic water reserve. You can't drink oil.
