Great Lakes water study predicts local shortages

A U.S. Geological Survey water availability study released today says Great Lakes water is great, but not infinite.
Researchers behind the five-year study note uneven water distribution could lead to local shortages.
Areas like Milwaukee and Chicago may see an estimated 100-foot drop in groundwater levels by 2040 if groundwater pumping continues in these areas, the study reported.
So I guess they idea of selling off our Great Lakes water to other states is a bad idea after all. Go figure.
