At least the criticism should attempt to be fair.  I have no idea what Oprah is doing with her water tankers or where they come from, but in Palo Alto, for example, getting water by tanker can be an entirely reasonable and even environmentally responsible thing to do.<p>Check it out: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cityofpaloalto.org&#x2F;gov&#x2F;depts&#x2F;pwd&#x2F;pollution&#x2F;recycled_n_other_non_potable_water.asp" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cityofpaloalto.org&#x2F;gov&#x2F;depts&#x2F;pwd&#x2F;pollution&#x2F;recycl...</a><p>There are places, Palo Alto included, which produce large amounts of recycled water suitable for irrigation but haven&#x27;t yet built out the infrastructure to pipe it directly to users.<p>So criticizing people may be reasonable, but it&#x27;s worth checking whether the criticism is justified first.
