  1. Water IS a commodity, because not all places have it. This is how it's always been throughout history. Water can't be taken for granted. A town not having water is always on the table. In modern times we think of water as a right, but it's a privilege. Nonetheless, we as a society have it in our best interest to allow for everyone to have this privilege, but under some circumstances that may not be possible and water will once again be treated as the precious hard-fought-over resource that it has always been, and always will be. Even oxygen is a commodity in the context of a place where it is not free and ubiquitous, like say Mars. Clean drinking water is different from oxygen here on Earth because it is not free or ubiquitous. It takes hard work to treat and create that resource, not like river/ocean/lake water. Same with milk vs. pasteurized milk. Same with lightning storms vs. actual electric infrastructure. Never forget that, technically speaking, nothing in life is a right, only a privilege earned through hard work and societal cooperation, and with just a few tweaks in the environment, those things won't be givens anymore and will once again be a tough logistics problem that has to be revisited.
