The world’s biggest bathtub ring....
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.
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?
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.
Not that the Left would EVER permit it, but if we wanted to spend money on ‘infrastructure’ the way that FDR did when he expected RETURNS on what was built (such as Hoover Dam), we could build a water transfer network, so Eastern Texas could send some of its drenching rains to places like Lake Mead.
But since not even Republicans will propose anything big like that, we’ll wind up with another 100 or so Solyndras.
Pretty soon a lost city will appear at the bottom.
California in particular has a very foolish leadership.
Rolling in money, California hasn’t the slightest intention
of going all in for desalinization.
While that is terrible for California, particularly the North
where water is taken and directed to southern California, it’s
also a big deal for neighboring states.
If California would take responsibility for it’s own water
needs, it could free up water it prevents other states
from using.
Israel has been taking big strides in desalinating water for
its use.
I believe California has the longest coastline of any state
in the nation (Florida may top it), but it doesn’t matter
since it has the shortest list of intelligent people in its
leadership.
Every ten minutes (it seems), another gun bill is squeezed
out of the posterior or the state legislature. Incredibly,
it’s been a number of decades since that same body birthed
a good idea from its womb.
Desalinization should be the first of many to change that
abhorrent reality.
We can’t take them seriously in Nevada or Southern California until they stop irrigating golf courses.
Of course they kept building. Money had changed hands, deals had been made.
