The same thing is happening in our western states.
In 1950 there were 19 million people living in the US western states. Today 74 million people reside in those states.
Draining the acquifers is the only way enough water is made available for the current 74 million people to flush their toilets on a regular basis.
Yup. And Las Vegas will be ground zero.
WAAAAAY overbuilt. Phoenix also. LA can get their water from the west of them if they want, or lets say they will have to in the near future.
By the way...San Diego county has plenty of water. They planned for it and have taken steps to take care of the future problem. So now they have no problem.
Oh and wait till they push for water from the great lakes. They already have been told to piss off-they aint getting any from those lakes. First off, those lakes outside of Lake Michigan are international waters. I understand that even then, there is a clause in the treaty with Canada that prevents shipping water.
I lived in Tucson 40 years ago, it was already happening there. Subsidence would periodically require repairs to broken up sections of I-10.
