Great Lakes.

All the big sun belt development money that appeared (iirc) during Reagan presidency was bound to run up against water limits at some point. Meanwhile, the lack of investment in the "rust belt" states around the Great Lakes has left many areas short on infrastructure--but with plenty of water.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the end game will be. More investment in the great lakes reigon, or more diversion of water from the great lakes.

The Great Lakes states are not going to give up their water easily. Ever since they have been lumped with the rest of the center of the USA as part of "flyover country" there is no love lost for the east and west coasts.
