Fascinating article in the wall st journal today about the town of Lowville, NY. Lowville is just west of the massive Adirondack Park. Huge amounts of precip fall on Lowville, mainly from snowfall from Lake Ontario. How those guys milk cows up there with all that snow I will never know, but anyway the article is about how the local Kraft cream cheese plant is using about a million of gallons of water per day and totally stressing the water system. Other than the Buffalo NY area, I would think lack of water would be the last problem they would encounter. Anyway, interesting article pointing out that even in the "water belt", fresh clean water can be precious.
