If every house in the southwest saved its rainwater off the roof, this problem would not exist.
What rainwater?

Yep an excellent point.
I’ll bet that California will see more invasive legislation to control the people and perhaps even an attempt to control food production (ala agenda 21).
To: thackney
"Starting to Become Apocalyptic" is quite iffy as a headline. Is it or is it not apocalyptic? Is it becoming apocalyptic? After it starts becoming apocalyptic, will it continue to become apocalyptic, or will it start to stop becoming apocalyptic and then never actually reach truly apocalyptic? So many questions. There are 20 evidences, and yet in sum total they are not enough for the author to declare that the drought is apocalyptic. The article is a big hedge against the author sticking his or her neck out.
Not saying we shouldn't conserve or anything like that, but we also don't need to get all panicky about it. I'm living in the middle of it, and I do not plan to cancel my flood insurance.

They have limitless water just west but the environazis will never allow desalinizing.
To: Maudeen
“Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.”
“You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops.”
Water is life and rain is a blessing from God.

I think the days of everyone having a pool and hot tub are over. The days of semi arid areas having lush vegetation is over.....
we need to keep water supplies for human consumption,animal consumption, and for vegetables and orchards.....the days of lush lawns in semi arid days should be a thing of the past....
when my husband was in Africa, they golfed on cut weeds and sand.....

The problem has less to do with households than farms. 80% of California’s water goes to farming.
Where I live in Arizona, the water run-off of my roof would NOT keep me in water year around. The vast majority of the water falling on my 2 acres runs off into temporary rivers. The water supplier for my area has kept a pretty level pumping depth for the last 10 years, but hopes to bring in outside water to supplement it for continuing growth.
In Arizona, farming takes up about 70% of the state’s water.

We have more water than we need here in LA (lower Alabama) Roll Tide!

It does rain. Many areas like this get deluges, most of which runs out to sea. Building dams allows dry areas to be fruitful, but if that isn’t enough, even private citizens saving their rain water can make a difference.
During this drought, there have been lots of stories about flooding from rain water in LA.

While I don't doubt there is a drought. There may very well be. I have to wonder how much the dams play into this and is it orchestrated to some extent?
I really have no idea, I just trust nothing these people say or do. Or the "scientists" that work for them.

You won’t be laughing if you aren’t “ultimately” prepared. Look up.

Yes. It would not be a panacea, but it could buy time between “wet periods”.

Nuclear power + desalinization plants on the west coast = problem solved All the water you want for only 5 times the current prices. What a great solution.

You don’t even need the nuke. Drain salt/sea water to death valley and use solar mirror to steam it off. The steam supplies electric power for the operation and steam power to pump the water back where it is needed.
Likely sea salt and other by products could be used also...
