I'd be more than happy to see one of those solutions. So far, the solutions you have offered up will only make more people die down the road.

So, you're a mind-reader, too?
A reduction of use here is not going to affect how much water is available over there. A reduction in use over there is the only real, long-term solution.
My standard of living will not be lowered by a futile attempt to "rescue" a few people. However, that of future generations will be when even more people are in the same situation because of misguided "help."

What's your point? Either those golf courses are in areas of the world that have plenty of water or they are moving their areas in the same direction as the places you want to "save."

Stopping such practices sounds to me to be a major step in the right direction. My whole point has been that consumption must be reduced. Not sure why anyone would be against it. Oh, wait. Your remark was poorly done sarcasm, wasn't it?

People dying is part of Nature. If nobody died, we'd all be in the same situation - all resources would be quickly depleted. When any species overpopulates an area, there will be a die off to maintain balance - it may not be pretty but that's just the way it is.

Please enlighten us as to what those ways are. Apparently you don't see birth control as a viable solution. Just what is?

It doesn't matter only if if we don't attack the root cause of the problem. I'm sure you mean well but your solution will only make things worse. If the load on the ecosystem is not reduced, all other "fixes" are just bandaids; and poor ones at that. The best way to help them is to show them how to help themselves.
