A Guest Post about "Water Rights as a Mystery Subplot"

This is a huge issue, especially in the Western United States, where water has always been scarce. There are predictions that fresh water soon will become the most fought-after resource in the world. With all the competing needs for a scarce resource, there's plenty of room for conflict—maybe even murder! ;-)
