Dam a stream and create a water source. It could also be used for clean, CHEAP electricity generation!
OH WAIT...
The Democrats haven’t let us build anything like that in several decades now.
Oh, what a creative remedy. The only stream of consequence anyplace near, that carries a significant volume of water even in the summer, is at the bottom of a canyon about 2000 ft. lower in elevation than my city, and the water it carries is pretty well allocated to other competing purposes, including anadromous fisheries, irrigation, barge shipping, etc. Fortunately for me and many others in this region, we don’t have to compete with oil extraction.
Oh, I forgot. This stream also contributes mightily to regional electric power supplies.
