I would like to propose being able to transport water at very low cost to any location on our current or near-future Earth. The mechanism of transport is technology based, and results in 100% pure H20 - therefore is instantly potable and both disease and parasite free.

It uses a device at the sending end, and at the receiving end, much like the [Stepping Disks](http://larryniven.wikia.com/wiki/Stepping_disk) used by Larry Niven's Puppeteers in the Ringworld series. The devices are "tuned" to ONLY pass H20 - this is how the water is purified. So the water will be drawn from the Oceans - from a location in international waters - probably the "dead zone" in the Southeast Pacific. The energy requirements are extremely low, and the sending mechanism is very simple and stable. It can run unattended for years if required. It would likely be placed on the Ocean floor.

I am interested in what forms of political opposition will be likely to happen. EG

* What NGO special interest groups will get in the way?
* What organisations will attempt to disrupt by force? (Eg Sea Sheppard or other Eco Terrorism outfit)

I am likely to write a story that is very dark and has massive conflict happening over water resource. This gives plenty of opportunity for conspiracy theories, and great big plots that span countries & continents, which probably does make for better reading. This is a big part of why I am asking the question, I would like to see insight into some of the possible things that could go wrong from a Political point of view. Ideally identifying specific organisations that in the opinion of the poster are going to have an issue with the aim of peaceful supply of water will be a massive help. Their objection may not be the peaceful supply of water - rather the means used to obtain it.

I can then do some independent research on those organisations. I am not fully conversant with NGOs outside my own country apart from Sea Shephard - so getting some idea of these would help a fair bit.

It would seem that dark stories are more popular, and at the end of the day - writing stories is about getting readers more than anything else.
