This Guy Owns Your Water

By Sean Sirrine

ADVERTISEMENTS
If you were wondering who is planning to own your water, here he is (thanks to BusinessWeek):


If water is the new oil, T. Boone Pickens is a modern-day John D. Rockefeller. Pickens owns more water than any other individual in the U.S. and is looking to control even more. He hopes to sell the water he already has, some 65 billion gallons a year, to Dallas, transporting it over 250 miles, 11 counties, and about 650 tracts of private property.


Interestingly, the article mentions the current common view in America; and the likely future view:


"The idea that water can be sold for private gain is still considered unconscionable by many," says James M. Olson, one of America's preeminent attorneys specializing in water- and land-use law. "But the scarcity of water and the extraordinary profits that can be made may overwhelm ordinary public sensibilities."
