Even without the saltwater problem, drinking from the end of the Ganges sounds pretty bad considering how polluted that river is. I have a hard time understanding the mentality of people having kids while complaining, there’s not enough fresh water. I suppose it’s good that most of the local water supply here in ca comes from mountain snowpack melts.

I mean for one, people don’t always have a choice about having children if they can’t access birth control.
