When communities have to argue about water, there are too many people in the community. They shouldn't have to worry about it. In California, there may be some big fights over water next year. The snow cap is only 38% of normal this year. If the state doesn't get large snow falls or heavy rains next year, it may be a big problem for the state. To many people in the state using up too many resources.

"The mighty Colorado River that carved the Grand Canyon disappears as a river before reaching the Gulf of Mexico because of the abundance of withdrawals," he said.

That's precious! I hope he didn't really say that.

Back to geography class for you! The Colorado drains into the Gulf of California.

I totally agree with you.

Southern Colorado has been having water wars with Denver and surrounding suburbs for years.

The population up there is exploding, but there hasn't been enough water for years.

Damn! 'sand-lappers', the head waters for the Catawba River are all in NC. The Catawba River's water belongs to NC UNTIL the flow reaches SC then SC can all they want. Get over it:-()

[oldironsides]

I looked at the Catawba last month when I was in SC. It was kind of filthy and scummy. It looked as though chemical plants are close to it. I would not allow my dog in it to fetch a stick.

What if we give it back to SC in the form of treated wastewater?

[geo40xyz]

The head-waters are all in 'red clay' based soil, thus the muddy look. I have never seen a analysis of the water, but cities are pumping water out:-()

Thanks for the ping.

Careful there, Tarheel. Just because you are upstream from S.C., you are downstream from Tennesee and Virginia. What if Virginia or Tenn. started pumping out millions of gallons a day, would N.C. stand still for that?

[geo40xyz]

Missed 5th grade didn't you:-)
Tennessee is downstream. Virginia is already pumping millions from Gaston Lake due to its head waters beginning in Va. Some attempt to stop Va from pumping but NC arguments did not win...
