"Araraukarian. It is unacceptable, because it targets all nations indiscriminately regardless of whether their annual water usage is already sustainable, for some reason thinks "freshwater" equals "drinkable water", allocates WA money to be used to clean up the messes of nations who can't be arsed to deal with their own messes, duplicates an existing resolution for a large part, and because clause six now seems to punish nations that have more water than their manufacturing industry uses, not to mention that it specifies ecological and public health damages without specifying that those must be an issue before fines are assigned. Also, passing this would make more comprehensive legislation on the subject impossible."

Perhaps it was not prudent to give hard numbers, but I strongly stand by this limit as it only applies to nations whose freshwater supply and the welfare of its citizens are severely at risk." The hopeless ambassador returns to sulking on her desk, writing her will on a scrap of paper, using her tears as ink.

Botrum looks at the ambassador with a face of repugnance as she bawls her eyes out in the middle of an international meeting, but he quickly turns away.
"Why must we inherently go after cooperations when water is at an all time low? There are other, more innovative and under-looked ideas that we are yet to test."

"You seem to be under some weird assumption that any water that leaves a river or a lake will vanish into some black hole called "manufacturing". If a nation uses sixty percent of its freshwater supply on manufacturing annually, but does so without polluting or endangering sustainability, why is it a problem?"

OOC: Before publishing the proposal's first draft, I did some research on corporate blue water footprints, and while I cannot recall the website I found the data on, I read about how highly industrialized, western nations such as the United States has around a 20% corporate blue water footprint. Other countries such as China, which we all might recognize for its infamous for its unchecked pollution, extensive smog and discolored water, have figures ranging somewhat closely to 30%.

(OOC: Lots of WA nations don't resemble RL much and you still haven't produced the actual source, also, the USA is not a good global standard as it has heavy pollution.)

"Which part of "but does so without polluting or endangering sustainability" slipped past your ears?" Johan asked sharply. He was starting to understand why Janis had always been in such a foul mood after these debates. "My point was that even if they completely failed to pollute anything thanks to, you know, actually treating wastewater appropriately before discharging it back into the freshwater ecosystem, they'd still be punished due to taking in water in the first place. Also, you should probably see a doctor. And a psychiatrist. Or possibly, if that's more your flavour, an exorcist."
