Las Vegas is 2.8 million people who have basically no reason to be there.
Many years ago there was a show on PBS that claimed the Colorado River system’s flow projections were erroneously High. This was due to annual rainfall measurements taken at an unusually rainy time In American history while the planning for its design was underway
If this was correct, the claim of ‘climate change’ being the Colorado River’s issue is downright bogus and misleading.
hey California.. if you deport the illegals... the MILLIONS you have there... imagine how much more water you would have!
I would cut off all water from going to California.
California has ordered urban yard watering to only once a week. Farmers irrigation has been cut. The truth is the water is gone. The normal condition of the climate that produced the deserts in southern California and Nevada (Las Vegas) has returned
Southern California as the desert it is, is doomed.
They just couldn't resist could they.
Was there two weeks ago. Amazed at how low the water was. Many areas nothing more than a big, dry ditch. And yet, growth continues at a rapid pace.
Perhaps we need another 2 million Biden illegals to use more water.
They can start big by shutting off water to golf courses.
Also, it’s April in the northern hemisphere. Most of the snow in the Rockies has yet to melt.
The Gods from prior generations who built Hoover Dam and the entire water infrastructure in the Western US are mostly dead, or at least certainly retired.
We must give credit where it’s due - they built out at least 50 years, so that their kids, grand kids, and great grand kids could Virtue Signal by opposing any more build-out and in fact by throwing much of the capability away, such as where huge amounts of water that could have been used to help Lake Mead gets thrown away east of San Francisco to ‘save the Delta Smelt’. Not to mention preventing the limitless and nearly cost-free water available via desalinization.
Now, as the saying goes, their Chickens have come home to Roost. Hope they enjoy the ride.
It is about 276 miles from Las Vegas to the largest water supply on earth. 1 desalination plant, 1 massive pipeline, several pumping stations, powered by some thorium reactors would go a long way to solve their water shortage.
I think it call your sanity to question if you’ve ever seen Las Vegas from the air — decorative fountains, swimming pools, sprawling, verdant golf courses and all — and didn’t recognize what an aberration it is.
