Presidential Candidates and Water
Are presidential candidates in the United States avoiding the issue of water shortages across the country? As some areas of the country have their supplies met, and even an overabundance, this issue can't stay buried from debates forever.
But, candidates seem to be aware that there are few faster ways for a candidate to get into political trouble than to wade into the subject of water shortages. When it comes to proposals for regional water sharing, candidates might not lose the election by saying the wrong thing-but they will certainly ruffle some feathers. Just look at Bill Richardson for an example.
