When the mass droughts begin and water shortages get worse in 50 years, real estate prices in these areas will be so high it will be too late for you
What are some other areas with high amounts of freshwater that will be valuable in 50 years?
>real estate prices mattering at a time when billions are gradually dying of starvation/thirst
oh my sweet summer child the only thing that will matter is how much access you have to guns and ammunition

Are you going to go down there every morning and haul water back to your house for treatment? Because unless we can clean and distribute the lakewater fast enough living near them wont matter. Moreover, private water companies own the lakes and distribution networks. Its not as simple as moving close to a lake.

Why is this unfeasible?
>put water tank in vehicle
>fill it with lake water
>go home
>run it through filter
>distill
>add a pinch of salt to remineralize it

Not how water works. You're sure to be ingesting tons of extra shit unless you have a proper treatment filter. But I recognize its not unfeasable

Water generally needs chemical floculation and UV treatment to remove parasites and depris. Also high iron and Phosphates can sometimes hurt. Idk how good home filters are these days.

distilling removes all of that shit bro
why do you think rainwater is clean. it's naturally distilled by the sun

Energy crisis as in oil shocks or economic rape by privatized utilities will hit long before water shortages in those parts.
There is still loads of ground water around there too which is far healthier than disgusting great lakes water, ask Nestle.

>the great lakes
Why don't you just drink toilet bowl water?
>>8667473
You're joking right? Rainwater isng considered drinking water standard

I was mostly being facetious but distilling is a great way to sanitize water
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distilled_water
>Water purification, such as distillation, is especially important in regions where water resources or tap water is not suitable for ingesting without boiling or chemical treatment.
Just boil it worst case scenario dummies.
Besides the human body can easily deal with lake water if its isnt overly pampered through childhood and adolescence

There are reverse osmosis systems with prefiltering and just-in-case UV sterilization and postfiltering. They make very pure water.
If you just want the minimum required amounts of water, it's not hard or expensive even starting with seawater or badly polluted water. The trouble is to supply the huge amounts of cheap water people use when it's practically free, which is the generally established practice that the tech is designed around.
Nobody wants to put up with sponge baths and composting toilets if they don't have to. They want two long showers a day if they feel like it, and dishwashers and washing machines and watering the lawn with a hose.
If you're halfway technologically competent, you're never going to run out of drinking water, no matter what kind of pollution or drought there is. That's trouble for hut people.
I'm from Chicago. Fuck off we're full. 80% of Chicagoans are murdered daily, we have rats. You wouldn't like it here.
