Wow 31 years in Chicago and I did not know this. Great work, it’s surprising how much we take all this for granted.

I used to be a tour guide in Chicago and my favorite thing was teaching locals stuff they didn't know! You should definitely hit up one of the tourist tours cuz you'll learn so much

You’ve never looked out the lake and seen the cribs? They always fascinated me as kid (and still do actually).

Sometimes I wonder with this water shortage will it start a migration of people moving to Chicago in the future.

You might want to add $Thanks to your video pages. It goes on the "like dislike share download clip save" bar. Be sure to allow visitors and viewers to also set their own amounts (not just fixed amounts). I liked your note about reversing the river. And see a video advertised "How Chicago Reversed Its River: An Animated History" which might give some of that. Your note about California surprised me. I expect we will see more and more modular nuclear plants providing heat, pumping, and electricity for desalination. When high cost of water and electricity drives people and corporations away, at some point that becomes economic. Plus there are LOTS of companies and countries realizing the old "atomic energy" "too cheap to meter" and "the peaceful atom". Rather burn atoms safely than massive pollution from coal and oil. Especially since boiling water to drive turbines wastes more than half the energy. Boiling water with nuclear power always seemed so stupid, since I first saw it up close in 1975 when I worked briefly at Detroit Edison on Fermi II plant. Fermi I was sodium cooled and that technology could be adapted to direct nuclear to electric methods. Oh well. Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation

My great great grandmother single handedly dug the entire tunnel to 2-mile crib. She was paid 2 polishes with grilled onions per hour. She also invented the crib walk and made sure to keep it gangsta at all times.

Make sure you test that water before you drink it. The inside of those pipes is filthy and you need to filter it before you drink it

The water is drying up because of population increases - more people need more water. Climagte change is not the reason.
