And if all illegals were deported, how much water would be saved and available for citizens?

My understanding is that farms use the vast majority of the water so curbing urban use doesn't get us very far.

Do they have to grow cotton in Arizona? Lettuce in SoCal?

Instead of trying to move more water to desert crops, perhaps they could move the crops closer to the water.

I always thought it strange that Phoenix has 19 golf courses. I had to go to one of them once as part of a business trip before moving here, and I remember seeing a small patch of dry dead grass that was missed by the sprinklers, thinking, THAT’s what this should be . . . the rest of this doesn’t belong here!

Arizona also has a lot of agriculture. Lettuce and cotton like lots of water.

Vast majority of that water is for Agriculture. We may want to re-think our diets a bit. Why are you growing Avocados and Almonds in a Desert? Just an example.
Israelis are experts at farming in a Desert, how do they do it?
Full disclosure; I live in Hawaii and grow stuff year round,
but it is warm and wet here, and a lot more expensive to farm than a Desert.
Our biggest farming problem is Democrat NIMBYs.

All part of the plan to destroy our capitalist system, create chaos and death, then swoop in with voter approval to centrally control everything and enact Communism all in the guise of saving the people. Never mind that billions of dollars that are meant to go to increasing reservoir space is spent on general fund projects thus resulting in wasting untold huge quantities of water by dumping it into the sea.

That’s crazy, just tap into the Colorado River at excessive flow water times of the year.

Good thing Arizona went along with the steal. Now that they saves the USA from Trump their chosen administration gets to tell them ‘no water for you, drink sand if your thirsty’

Cut off the water deliveries to Mexico until the stop the flow of illegals and drugs across the border.

What’s the worst that could happen? Their military attacks us, loses and Mexico becomes a protectorate, under the control of the US Army?

Interesting that the dam design locks so much water into the “lake” which can’t be used.

Maybe it should have been a land-fill, first.

Instead of building high-speed rail in California, they should be spending that money on desalination plants.

“Phoenix has 19 golf courses.”

How many are in Palm Springs CA?

Yet Ca, for example, will NOT build more water retention infrastructure.

The same for AZ. Monsoon rains hit and where does that water go?

Over 90% of that water evaporates.

Then add to that, the mismanagement of forests.
Transform the desert into green and lush areas like this African did. But hey! The government! The government, we need government money you know.

That is the key.

Since most of California’s population is now either descended from illegals, or are actually in the country illegally, the other Western states have no obligation to honor the Interstate Water Compact that splits the water up.

The agreement was not made with the idea of supplying water to foreigners.

It all goes back to the Gov’t induced drought caused by NASA, NOAA, and the Air Force through Geo-Engineering. Go to GeoEngineeringWatch.org ... it been going on for years and they are perfecting it more every year. Going to kill several birds with one stone .... draught, famine and killer weather.
