PING!

And yet they try to force everyone they can onto a community sewer system.

[Jim Robinson]

Global warming is the answer.

As the earth gradually warms and melts the icecaps, it creates more water in the oceans. More water in the oceans along with higher temps, means more evaporation. More evaporation means more water in the atmosphere. More water in the atmosphere means more rain and snow on the earth. More rain and snow on the earth means more water in the rivers and the underground aquifers. More water and snow on earth gradually lowers the temps. Also, means more ice for the icecaps.

Hmmmm... What was the question again?

[Parley Baer]

I have a grand idea. Let’s have an open border and bring in even more people. That is how you solve the water problem.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Almost forgot . . .

Maybe if they all peed into the reservoirs.

water is currently so scarce out West that it threatens to decimate the nation’s most productive farming region (California)

No, the decimation of the nation’s most productive farming region (California) occurred by court order to save the f***ing snail darter in the Sacramento delta. Half of all precipitation is washed out to sea for this stupid, non-native species. F***ing environmentalist wackos.

[LouAvul]

I question the assertion there is a water shortage. I will admit there is a deliberate reluctance to build water reservoirs and retention structures by idiots who want to return civilization to wilderness.

charges that livestock production and meat processing consume too much water

And, there it is. Bogus excuses in order to attack what they really hate, animal consumption. More lies by the PETA type fools.

The company is based in Kansas. The only water problem in California is water on the brain of Moonbeam and the RAT legislature. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda. Moonbeam needs to go the way of his old girlfriend Ronstadt—Parkinson’s disease. I wish no ill on anyone, only those who wish ill on their constituents as demonstrated by foolish laws and policy. Linda has retired due to her condition, maybe you should do the same Moonbeam, you foolish jackass.

[HiTech RedNeck]

no no no as algore tells it, it will both flood the oceans and parch the deserts. and if we ask questions we are lower than a neanderthal’s knee.

[Vendome]

Cut bait fish

I believe you are thinking of the Delta Smelt.

[Pining_4_TX]

If there is a shortage of water, it’s because government is in charge of it. As Milton Friedman said, if you put the government in charge of the deserts, there would soon be a shortage of sand.

[LtKerst]

Lake Shasta in Northern California is an empty Mud Hole.

and the state is trying to cut off the water to an entire town (Mountain House Ca.)
and fining Tracy irrigation district for pumping water they have a right to.

Fascist Marxist Bastards in Sacramento.

Oh, B.S.

Water has been more precious and in shorter supply, the loser writing this just does not know history.

A quick google of Great Depression and dust bowl might help give him a clue.

Technology is currently capable of desalination at a very economical price in areas where rain fall is unreliable and many parts of the United States are actually more concerned with floods.

The problem is not lack of water, it's lack of distribution infrastructure and lack of will to develop resources and confront “environmentalists” who oppose such development.

[Old Sarge]

Water gets cut off.

People move out.

Land gets bought at fire-sale prices.

Water comes back on.

Follow the money.

[Chickensoup]

I am under the impression that this is a government caused water crisis.

Not to say that there isn’t a drought, but the government has closed off lot of options out west and let in a lot of illegal aliens.

[17th Miss Regt]

Ah, yes. You are correct. Thanks.

D*** delta smelts!

[17th Miss Regt]

Correctomundo. Environmentalists caused this water situation deliberately.
