We were foolish enough to believe we could water the entire southwestern U.S. with the Colorado River.
Nothing could go wrong.
Now it has, and tens of millions of people are staring down the barrel of real trouble.
As much as 75% of the water from Lake Mead (fed by the Colorado River) goes to agriculture…so now we have a potential food production problem.
Major cities like Las Vegas depend on that water for its citizens…now we have a potential personal survival problem for local residents.
More than 40 million people in seven states need to decide how they go on living if the rains do not return. Is anyone worried? Is there an emergency management team in place? Doesn’t seem that way if you review the local news there.
Are they prepared? No. Maybe 3% of the population has anything in place for survival. What do they do? Where do they go?
Is Kansas ready for an influx of evacuees from California? Can the East Coast handle another few million people?

June is hot in the SW.
I lived in that land for a number of years. It was a remote area probably 75mi west of you.
They will be OK.
I was north of AJO. Hottest is always last 2 weeks of June and then the humidity flows in from GOM. Storms from the Rim or even the Tucson area do happen, but not often.
Gila Bend is sitting on top of a huge reservoir of water.
The Hoh Rainforest on the Olympic Peninsula says to hold my beer….
On average 140 inches of rain each year. Taholah, WA averages over 110 inches of rain a year.
Well maybe where you live there’s abundant moisture but here 1200 year drought.
It is so dry that houses are burning more than ever before. My house burned two weeks ago .
Ground water is getting deeper and harder to find. Wells are going dry.
As we get ever closer to the end times, the hotter and more extreme the weather is going to be. Liberal minded fools think that they can control God’s plan for man, but they can’t. Buckle up, it is going to be a wild ride...
imagine how much more water they would have if 10’s of MILLIONS of illegals were not consuming it!
I sort of remember ... California tearing down its dams to save some minnow.
It’s like HIV, defunding the police, and Monkey Pox... there are consequences to bad decisions.
Seems current conditions are following the Tribulation.
True. Also, paleo-climitologists have documented 500 year droughts in the American south-west. Long-term droughts are inevitable.
Without artificial means, the ASW isn't capable of sustaining large populations. I suspect the next solution will be divert water from other rivers and lakes.

California regulator rejects desalination plant despite historic drought
The plant was designed to convert Pacific Ocean water into 50 million gallons (189.3 million liters) of drinking water a day.
That is enough for 400,000 people, but the plant would use a process that staff experts at the commission said would devastate marine life and expose the plant to future risk of sea level rise while producing expensive water too costly for low-income consumers.
Environmentalists who have opposed the project for years burst into celebration after the vote in a Costa Mesa hotel conference room.
You’re right. That’s a scary map. I’m in southwest Colorado and we’re dry as a bone.

I have been monitoring drought for years, a Biblical thing. More alarming is the aquifer under Kansas Nebraska area is dropping 100 ft a year, projections showing what is hitting the west is moving east, deep down under, at alarming rates.
Biblical history appears to be here, when water goes, food goes bye bye. Timing is everything, senile Joe’s war Sanctions have severely disrupted food supply, as will our drought- converging, …the ironic fact: Russia has none of these factors, plenty of food ( which equates to water), water, energy, oil, NG, commodities, metals….the perfect “ storm” that appears will re-arrange the world’s pecking order….not looking good for the West. No surprise when realizing the extreme moral decline of the West.
If we can build a pipeline from Canada to Texas why not some from the upper midwest and pipe a lot of the snow melt west. Most of that water flows south and into the Gulf.
Desalinization, with some insight from Israel.

Good luck with that, desalination is solely dependent on energy, massive amounts of electricity required.
That said, Israel has been blessed with massive, huge NG deposits that extend from Israel to Cyprus. The massive Tamar fields have made Israel self sufficient, and are major exporters…pipelines are being built to supply Europe, much to Vlads disappointment…..imagine the outrage when Israel becomes THE major energy supplier to the world.
We are living in historic Biblical times, give Praise. Believer’s, do not be shaken, you will do fine.
Well put.
I’ve said for years that we’re heading into a Perfect Storm.
Are you also in the South West?
but while we're at it, WHO has allowed millions of new people to come into the Southwest/Cali adding exponentially to the water shortage....
sure you say a house doesn't use as much water but housing brings in many more people, more lawns more hot tubs, more pools, more golf courses....
Yes, I’ve seen a few southern Arizona summers since I moved here in 1985. The rains will come, just don’t know exactly when.
And built massive windmills that change the climate.
I’ve said for years that we’re heading into a Perfect Storm.

Perfect Biblical storm. Atheists, non believers and even Lukewarm’s have not the eyes to see, or ears to hear…absolutely no understanding….if you don’t like Jesus, Satan will take you back. My advice, run to God, give thanks, praise and
worship- we will do just fine ( these past two years I have been blessed beyond all belief)-Amen.
I smell Revival- commonly brought upon by bringing an immoral, Godless nation to it’s knees, yes Freepers, that includes us. Stay tuned, time getting short.
