Individual ability to halt one's own water use concatenated socially can be huge; Individual ability to influence others politically to change macro-social economic structures inclusive of water flow are limited; a reciprocal of political effectiveness must exist. Global organizational structures in economics do not presently value environmental water liberty to naturally flow-water is regarded as a commodity previously channelled within drainage ditch formations-rivers were controlled and highways built alongside; concatenated human environmental engineering was deleterious and could not quickly be changed...millions of pollutants were added.

America is a society of disposable things
