Other places, I think psychologically, even though it's more expensive often and it has a more significant environmental footprint, some people just prefer to go for desalination when they have it as an option.

And, you know, the cheapest, easiest, you know, solution to any water crisis is more conservation.

And so when you can conserve your way out of a problem, there's no reason to spend the money on water recycling or desal or anything like that.

Well, I think that's the debate that we're in right now.

We're not going to be able to solve the long-term water solutions in the country and the world without embracing and working with agriculture.

And that debate about how much ag can conserve water

on top of all the urban conservation programs that have been in place in many parts of the Southwest in particular, is sort of another stage in the debate.

Exactly.

You're welcome.

Thanks for your interest.
