Quit being a jerk and going to that angry place when someone points out something to you or disagrees with you about something.
Many states have less water than other states, but of what interest is that to us as individuals on this thread, we are only interested in water available to us individually or to the community that we live in, or would consider moving to.
We can talk all day about all of the states (lots of them including So Cal) that don’t have a lot of water statewide, or for future population growth.
Me being a jerk?
Towns in NM mostly depend on deep wells to provide their water. In a shtf situation and the grid is out how is that water going to come to the surface? Even towns on rivers in NM only have a mostly continuous flow only because of the systems of damns, which again require electricity and being manned and maintained all of which would be problematical during shtf. Those are the facts, so is pointing out the facts being a jerk now?
