1 ) GLOBAL

MY THOUGHTS

Threats:
  *Ozone - Crucial for survival of life on planet
  *CO2/Methane/other GCC gases - adaptable
       *Changes in Land Use = Source of 40+% 
	Q:  Does this include Loss of Services or only

WRSC OUTPUT

Q:  What are the relevant PSYCHOLOGICAL / social / cultural conditions and forces?  Which help and which hinder?

Changes in Land Use are the Primary Indicators of the land's ability to USE the WATER effectively to provide the things we NEED!

(Undisturbed or Recovered Ecosystems are capable of providing water and food for the evolved inhabitants.) 
(Energy is acutally a SECONDARY NEED - I don't need electricity or oil - I need the things they allow me to get.)

EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ASKING FOR GLOBAL - 
	WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL/CULTURAL CONDITIONS for DECISION-MAKING
	It is STILL ALWAYS Individual and Personal!

CONDITIONS   and   FORCES:

Who are the people who have water?  Do not have water?
AND WHY?
What are NEEDS  v.  WANTS?     
	Primary SURVIVAL  v.  Discretionary SATISFACTION?
	How do DIFFERENT Populations DEFINE  ENOUGH?
	"ENOUGH" is a psychological

In order to identify Sustainable Solutions, we must FIRST identify ALL (or as many as we can - evolves) the Challenges/Problems
	Because otherwise, we are solving symptoms not core/root causes

CONDITIONS:

GLOBAL - ARE THERE ANY NATURAL / CULTURAL / SOCIAL OR PSYCH CONDITIONS WHICH ARE GLOBAL?

Basic Needs  (but not "Wants")    Air     Water     Food      Warmth (not hot / not cold)

Survival of WE vs. ME  (inherently feminine  v.  masculine?  until culture/social pressure/change?)

	* Natural (Environmental)  (GEOGRAPHY MATTERS)
		e.g., Does the local population exceed the local water source availability? 
			If Yes, is it a 
				cultural (e.g., dams; over-plowing; diverting; using up natural capital [rather than "interest", e.g. cutting down trees])
				social (e.g., have as many kids as possible...)
				psychological (e.g., meet today's desires without thinking of future; entitlement [I am more important]
			
	*Cultural (Internal - e.g., Inherited Beliefs - evolving - impacts social + psychological)  
		Does the local population have belief(s)/make choices which impact local water source availability? 
			If Yes, is it a 
				environmental (e.g., nature is to be used up; nature is sacred; nature has no intrinsic value])
				social (e.g., have as many kids as possible...)
				psychological (e.g., meet today's needs without thinking of future; entitlement [I am more important than you])

	* Social (External - e.g., Personal and Group Economics - evolving - can impact cultural + psychological )  (DM:  WHY? 1- KEEP POWER/WATER ON
		Does the local population exceed the local water source availability?                                                                       FULL TIME.  2- ALSO  COST.
			If Yes, is it a                                                                                                                                                        3- ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
				environmental (e.g., water is abundant or "scarce"; land has been abused so less water available)
				cultural (e.g., my wealth is dependent upon how many kids ...)
				psychological (e.g., meet today's needs without thinking of future; entitlement [I/We are more important]

	*Psychological 
		How much of a persons decision-making is conscious vs. subconscious motivations? 
			If Yes, is it a 
				environmental (e.g., nature is to be used up; nature is sacred; nature has no intrinsic value])
				cultural (e.g., dams; over-plowing; diverting; using up natural capital [rather than "interest", e.g. cutting down trees])
				social (e.g., have as many kids as possible...)

FORCES::

GLOBAL - ARE THERE ANY NATURAL / CULTURAL / SOCIAL OR PSYCH FORCES WHICH ARE GLOBAL?

First - in affluent regions - WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE WATER COMES FROM?

COMMODITY?  Should we change how water is characterized?  (right v. commodity?)

Individual

Husband/Plumber example -

who do you trust
home 
small business
commercial
utility-scale

Dr. Wesley - social pressure model

Contrarians

INDOOR  v.  OUTDOOR
	*What percentage is each (related to 

ECONOMIC STRATA

CITY  v.  SUBURB  v.  RURAL  -  
	*Level of connection to the land and water and understanding of land/water connection

Neighborhood/Community

At this level are we sometimes eager, sometimes resistant  and sometimes could care less - 
even Bullied (?) to make choices contrary to our 
*comfort level
*personal morals/ethics/belief systems
*religion
*culture
*disassociated from water impacts/efforts

	*Tribal conflicts (warring?)

Human needs v. human behaviour
NEEDS	Air 	Water	Food  	Energy	Shelter from Extremes (variable)

BEHAVIOR	
	Me  v.  You
	Us  v.  Them
	Competition v. Collaboration/Cooperation     (masculine  v.  feminine?)
	In Physics (amplification  v.  damping)

Caldean neighborhood/community -
	still wash their cars - and water runs into street
	= water quantity and water quality 
     Source:  related to transfer of information
	HOW and WHY is this info transfer not happening - despite government efforts
ALSO
	Somali	Philippines		And many other populations!

Is this partially a FORMAT issue ??
	Do they READ?  
	Do they WANT AND can they AFFORD a TV / RADIO?
	
Churches - Would this be a reasonable and valid source of information transfer?  
	(would translate into relevant language)

Why/how are the teacher/school efforts thru children working? (or NOT?) 
	LINK these WITH CHURCH efforts?

WHO ELSE TALKS TO (say) 100 PEOPLE  in a WEEK?    AFFECTING BEHAVIORS?!
	How are these 

WHAT ELSE??  To Effect Change?

	*Competition between various social groups

	*Government - 
		Local:  Tiered Rates		
			Consistent Message (Drought  v.  New Normal)
			Restrictions

	*Private Companies  and Vested Interests?
	
	*Finances and PROFIT MOTIVE

	*Deniability or actual state of possible - PLUS  Haves and Have NOTs

	*Consumer societies - have/make/buy more...

	*Self - regulation?

	*Costs to trans

	*Tribal

3) REGIONAL (SOCAL/SD)

MY THOUGHTS

*NOT a Desert - Semi-Arid Riparian/Chaparral 
	Look at Undisturbed and Recovering
*Progression - Natural and Man-enhanced
*Catastrophe and Replacement
*Fertile Islands 
*Complete Cover (plants need close contact for optimal health)
*Water Handling and Water Requirements
	Chaparral
	Riparian
	Landscapes
		"Desert"
