Now is this a misleading editorial or what.  Clean safe water brings to mind drinking water.  Are there shortages of drinking water?  Irrigation, of course, requires massive amounts of water but the descriptors of clean and safe are not quite so big an issue as in the case of drinking water.  And geographically, it is unlikely that western Oregon has serious water shortage.  So is the editorial about eastern Oregon, the Klamath basin?  Most serious of all, the editorial provides no pathways to increasing supply or reducing demand.
