Aint there a conspiracy that T. Boone Pickens is trying to gain the rights to all the aquifers in the US.

There's been rumors that a group or groups have been buying up water rights. Not sure how much of it's fantasy or reality. New water barons

Out of the article you linked:

quote:
Billionaire T. Boone Pickens owned more water rights than any other individuals in America, with rights over enough of the Ogallala Aquifer to drain approximately 200,000 acre-feet (or 65 billion gallons of water) a year. But ordinary citizen Gary Harrington cannot collect rainwater runoff on 170 acres of his private land.

It’s a strange New World Order in which multibillionaires and elitist banks can own aquifers and lakes, but ordinary citizens cannot even collect rainwater and snow runoff in their own backyards and private lands.

Damn
