I lived in Tucson 40 years ago, it was already happening there. Subsidence would periodically require repairs to broken up sections of I-10.

Unfortunately, they will start streaming over the border and demonrats will welcome them with open arms.

There is a bilateral US-Canadian commission for the Great Lakes and no they won’t be piping water to Phoenix. Not feasible anyway. Lake Michigan at Chicago is 577 feet altitude. Phoenix is over 1000, but it’s in a valley. Before you get water there you have to go past Albuquerque at 5300 feet, or maybe LasCruces at 3900 feet. And Chicago to Phoenix is 1750 miles, uphill all the way.

Works for me. Couldn't happen to nicer people parasites.

The DemonRats are slowing sinking.

Obama is doing all this damage to this country of ours.

ok Governor, and where the hell do you think all these worthless Mexicans are going to be heading with the blessing of Dementia Joe?
The Southern American border.

They got pipe from the Colorado river from Lake Havasue to LA. Those lines run over mountains and through mountains.

It is about 280 miles though.

Not impossible but they would take from other sources first. I am against them getting ANY water from ANY outside source.

BTW, Nearly all the artesian wells in the east central part of WI are said to originate from Lake Superior. Ex father in laws well ran at 5 foot above the casing near Howards Grove
WI. They are impossible to cap. Try it and you’ll end up driving outer casings to try and stop the blow out. I know, we tried it once at a neighbors place. That one, after we managed to get it controlled, would supply water to the second story of the farmhouse right next to it.

After the good Friday Earthquake in Alaska those wells ran milky white for months. Some quit running.

Soon they will all be crossing the U.S. border.

I do wonder why governments haven’t been working on massive pipelines to transfer water from highly wet places in the North and East where the water basically just runs off into the ocean instead of trying to kill us.

It is a whole lot easier to move people to the water. Unfortunately, democrats control most of those wet places in the North and East so people are fleeing South and West where there is no water but fewer democrats. Now people are fleeing California going East and voting for the same crap that ruined their state.

Maybe all the illegals they’ve been sending to California for the past 50+ years can send them some wet dollar bills.

Montezuma’s Revenge has been a thing in
Mexico for as far back as I can
remember. They have never given their
water situation full attention. And
now that it has become a crisis, will
look to us to bail them out. (again)

You are completely wrong on all counts. And trust me, it’s a good thing! Read up on modern desalination plants, such as the ones in Carlsbad, California and Tampa Bay. They are very successful, economical and quite good for the environment.

“I do wonder why governments haven’t been working on massive pipelines to transfer water from highly wet places in the North and East where the water basically just runs off into the ocean instead of trying to kill us.”

Always thought a Columbia river aqueduct south through Oregon would be a great idea. Could even sale water to California.

If I’m wrong then the research I did on them was wrong. If you have a link to some info that refutes their reasoning I am willing to take a look at it.

There are frequently 3 or more sides to every story.

I am not an expert but it seems probable that if you pump the fresh water to the dry places, the oceans are not recharged with fresh water and eventually the oceans become like the Dead Sea.

“”Yup. And Las Vegas will be ground zero.””


I agree. In 1950 less than 200,000 people lived in the entire state of Nevada. Today more than 3.1 million people live in Nevada and it rains about the same in 2021 as it did in 1950.

That’s a good point. I wonder if pulling 5-10% of that fresh water would make that much of a difference.

I was always amazed how much water they use in Mexico City. It was l in me it was free & unlimited. I was told it basically was free because of the lake beneath the city.

But I haven’t been there in 20 years.

However, as the city grew the lakes were drained to make way for infrastructure, homes, and a growing population.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Interesting hypothesis.

I don’t think it would matter much at all to be honest since water is cyclical and icebergs/icecaps melt and re-freeze regularly.

Many countries with water issues have desalinization plants and pull millions and millions of gallons from the oceans annually.

I think they work out a way to pull water in without killing wildlife but they will need to do something with the salt beside dumping it right back in the ocean in concentrated form.
