520    The Great Lakes are the largest system of freshwater lakes
       in the world and America's greatest freshwater resource. 
       For over a century they have been the target of 
       controversial diversion schemes designed to sell, send, or
       ship water to thirsty communities, sometimes far from the 
       source. In part to protect the Great Lakes from 
       overzealous entrepreneurship, the Great Lakes Compact was 
       signed in 2008. Although the Compact fulfills that promise
       and ensures that Great Lakes water stays within the Basin,
       some would say it has only shifted the controversy closer 
       to home. Now water diversion controversies of a different 
       kind are some of the most fought-over environmental issues
       in the region. Will the water wars ever be settled? --
