Cut off Colorado R. water to California.

They are not really part of America anymore...

Maybe it’s time to think about selling my winter home in Arizona.

Eh, the left coast loves to make fun of those of us in "flyover country". Ohio is so much more boring than L.A..

But I live just a few miles from the lakes that hold 20% of the entire world's supply of fresh water, while they're going to be sucking sand.

Sucks to be California.

There is 4 more feet of water in Lake Mead than there was on this date 2 years ago. I guess THAT FACT wouldn’t inspire the kind of panic they are looking for though.

There is plenty of water. It all flows to the ocean when it rains, because there is no (or little) means of capturing the runoff. They gripe about it every time there is a drought & it reaches “crisis” status. Then it rains & all is forgotten until the next crisis.

I’m sure it is been happening longer, but it has been the same since I moved to CA in 1981. Put a brick in your toilet. If it’s yellow, its mellow. If it’s brown flush it down.

What could go wrong with building sprawling cities in the desert.
In Oklahoma they built so many lakes after the dust bowl that few states have more miles of shoreline.

I like how in CA government invited in, encourage and aided and abetted multiple millions of illegals to enter the state, and then these Democrat stooges turn around start restricting water use for the legitimate citizens.

As if millions upon millions of illegals aliens don’t consume water.

These people are scary!

Odd.

I’m only about 300 miles south and a bit east of Lake Powell... and we have had twice as much rain this summer than usual.

We just moved to Arizona. If there is a shortage, you sure couldn’t tell by the way they use water around here. The Culver’s and AJ’s food have misters just outside their places. Our Air BnB “irrigated” (flooded) the entire yard twice during our three week stay, half the Home Depot plumbing section is dedicated to outdoor sprinkler systems. Water kiosks are everywhere as many people don’t care for the Phoenix tap water. No shortage of heavily watered golf courses. It is hard to tell we are in a “drought”. (we like the area just fine, by the way)

Good thing Cal raised 3 billion for drought control. Actually money down the drain.

If 2 million illegals in Kalifornia flush 4 time a day, and each flush is 3 gallons, that’s 24 million gallons of water per day, not including bathing if they do that sort of thing. Build the wall and Kalifornia and the West will have more than enough water!
