...Barry Goldwaters long term plan for the Central Arizona Project was a aqueduct from the California coast to carry desalinated water to Arizona once the Colorado River capacity has been reached....
hmmm since global warming is raising the ocean water levels (/s)that would be a good use of the excess seawater and prevent low lying areas on the coast from drowning...I think i will use that in my next “discussion” about global warming..
Just about a perfectly appropriate solution to the “ problem”
Arizona oldtimers, in their wisdom, hated the whole CAP plan.
Colorado River water is sent by canal through the State. Phoenix uses it for agricuture and public parks etc.
Liberal Tucson sticks it in the ground after it has evaporatedefb. , pulls it up and chemicalizes it and uses it for drinking water. It is vile
