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.

“We’re going to have to learn to live with less water.”

Or quit living,
is what they really want.

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.

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.

Arizona needs less people, not less water. Damn shame what’s happened to that beautiful state the last forty years.

Is the problem less water coming into the reservoirs, or is it really the illegal population growing so much that it's showing up in the draw on water from the reservoirs?

Palio-climatologists have documents hundred-year droughts. Many civilizations from the past and around the world have vanished because the climate in the area they established changed. Deserts were never capable of sustaining large populations without artificial means. The American south-west is no different.

Nature Always Wins.

New tree ring study pinpoints ancient mega-droughts

The new, 1,238-year-long tree-ring chronology is the longest and most accurate of its kind for Mesoamerica, and the first to reconstruct the climate of pre-colonial Mexico on an annual basis for more than a millennium, pinning down four ancient mega-droughts to their exact years.

One large ancient drought previously confirmed for the Southwest of the United States is shown to have extended into central Mexico between 1149 and 1167 AD. It may have devastated the local maize crops, potentially giving a fatal blow to the declining Toltec culture, says David Stahle, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and lead author of the new study.

Arizona is in the desert. There is very little rain. More people are moving there. It’s a logical conclusion that eventually there won’t be enough water. This gentleman makes sense. What am I missing?
