The world’s biggest bathtub ring....
That rock leaching thing is pretty surprising.
As the Democrats roll out the red carpet for millions more water consuming illegals.
The government in the 19th century told settlers “the rain will follow the plow” to get them to farm the high plains. Indians saw the tilled soil and said “wrong side up”. A few rainy years and then disaster. Later the dust bowl. The Indian or Native American, whichever they wish to be called, were correct.
Too bad they can’t have some of our rain. North Texas is freaking full up on water. Of course, by August, that won’t be the case anymore.
I have read that the period in the last 150 years or so, when the west was settled was unusually wet, and that the present draught is a more normal condition.
I was just out in Vegas. The condos in front of the casino has a large waterfall fountain going as the surrounding countryside was dry as a bone. Idiocy.
America really needs to get started with the next phase of the Central Arizona Project which is building a canal from sea water de salinination plants on California’s Pacific Coast to hook up with the CAP. The plans have been in place for 50 years
Send illegals home and rescind visas and green cards as well. That will reduce demand more than anything else we might do.
Green lawns and filled pools in and around Los Angeles, right?
So yeah, let's take in millions more illegals, refugees and homeless in California and build apartment buildings just for them.
The don't need water, right?
Do not know where the state leaders are going to get the water for the millions of people they are encouraging to move in.
*The Courts ruled that Texas cannot force Oklahoma to sell us water.
The main leaders of this problem is North Texas Council of Governments.
Time to cut Mexico off? Did they contribute anything to the building of Hoover Dam?
I don’t see the problem with that. It’s an insignificant amount of water, recycled over and over again.
Some kind of market needs to be set up. If water had to be paid for that would supply the money for other ways of getting it. Just like any other commodity. Perhaps water shares to anybody getting this water now that could later be sold or traded.
Sure, put them all on a train to Oregon.
Directly because California siphons off the water for all their illegal immigrants.
The natural state of rainfall in the desert southwest is arid to semiarid. The engineering approach to water management can only go so far. The necessary solution is somehow to limit population in arid regions— much cheaper and environmentally more friendly than trying to build out costly canals and dams and what not just to feed more peoples’ toilets and backyard swimming pools.
