Time to build Pipelines to get Water from where it’s plentiful to where it isn’t.
Uh, I’m really confused. Was I dreaming when this past winter saw the most rainfall in the western states than in a decade? Mammoth Mountain ski resort had so much snow that they didn’t shut down the lifts until July 4th. The Sierra Mountains feed much of the Colorado River.
Lake Powell is at about its avergae for the past 10 years, which is 30 feet below its average since filled.
Lake Mead is the highest its been in the past five years at this date, but that’s almost 80 feet below its average.
The California reservoir system is very, very full for this date after being near capacity IN ITS ENTIRETY during the last rainy season.
Water usage by millions of illegal aliens in California lead to overdrafting of the Colorado and shorting the Central Arizona Project flows.
Yet another way Mexico - and its vassal state California - are stealing from America.
Heck, move to the Northeast, plenty of water if you can survive the Marxist polices and exponential tax growth.
Housing crash in Nev and Ariz?
Water is one of the things, that I think our Federal government need to be planning for.
It’s been a long time since major hydroworks have been created.
I wonder if there are fresh water reserves under the ocean floor out west like there are in the northeast.
Trees reduce groundwater. Maybe the environmentalists are planting and protecting too many trees.
IIRC, The United States uses about the same amount of water it did 50 years ago.
This is to guarantee Los Angeles can continue to water golf courses, fill swimming pools and decorative man made lakes, and wash their cars three times a week. Now their irrational gluttony is costing the other 6 states in the pact their own allotments. And still they do not build the desalination plants they have needed for 50 years.
Deport all the illegals and the US citizens there would have plenty of water.
Let me see - a dry often desert like area that does not have a natural water capacity for their populations - what could possibly be wrong.
If water cost at the consumer end what it should in such places, it would be cost efficient to get water for Arizona and southern Nevada from the Gulf of California via desalinization plants (it lies between Baja California and Mexico).
So the water wars begin. Plenty of water in the ocean. Clean it up and serve it. The technology is there. No,money? Stop spending BILLIONS on ILLEGALS and other BS. Build pipelines. Solve the problem instead of being stupid.
Interesting, educational, informative. Thanks to all posters.
Los Vegas and LA are soon going to have to start changing as they have outgrown their water supply and the people left will either be economically privileged and buy as much water as they want, or there will be political unrest.
Meanwhile, Kalifornia continues to dump billions of gallons of fresh water into the Pacific ocean.
