9. Not true, personal-use water is miniscule next to agriculture
The point is water supplies for people (drinking, sanitary and cooking),
not agriculture. Domestic water use is tiny when you remove agriculture
water from the equation.

Gorbachev is not saying that everyone has the right to water their
lawn, rather that every person on earth deserves the right to clean
water for their personal use.

Where are you getting the "big ag" implication from? Gorbachev is
out to save lives, and he's right... likely the cowardly lowlife
american administration will fight such a kind gesture.... but i hope
he's successful nevertheless.
