Yep. In the desert, water is worth far more than gold.

I’m in the wet and humid Deep South now, but I often miss the gorgeous but austere landscapes of Nevada. It’s a wonderful place.

All the best!

We (Californians) threw more than $10 billion to build a train that was to go from nowhere important to nowhere important. Train never got built. Money is gone.

We should’ve invested in desalination plants and water pipelines.

Are the global warming people crying about a chunk of Antarctic Ice that broke off? Why don’t we drag it up to the California coast?

World's Oranges, Coffee At Risk As Brazil Runs Out Of Water

I will add, anecdotally, that Florida seems pretty dry so far.

[dynachrome]

And coffee shortages would be a problem for me. Note to self: Recheck the preps tomorrow.

In Brazil, while many southern regions are in drought, much of the north has had excessive rains. I would not be surprised if, as a country taken overall, rainfall in Brazil would average out to be near normal. Of course, that is not the problem...

If the “canals” on Mars really had turned out to be such, well, that is about the scale of engineering project needed here on Earth.

“Oregon’s Klamath County is experiencing its driest year in 127 years.”

Meaning in at least 127 years ago the area had seen a similar drought. Such a time from is tiny in any global historical sense. The clear indication is that the area is in a drought cycle the area NATURALLY does experience, in cycles of 127 years or more.

A summer camp upstream from us dammed off a spring so they could have a natural pool. Aren’t they special. No water for anyone downstream.
