Did the natives keep water records 1000 years ago.
Amazing the “scientists” know exactly how much it rained 1000 years ago and exactly what the weather will be 100 years from now but can’t predict the weather more than a week in advance.

In our corner of AZ, we don’t use Colorado river water, but rather have deep wells and aquifer’s which are forecast to provide plenty of water for 100+ years.☺

I think that you and I are on the same side, here - but it is, indeed, statistically easier to predict how many people will die in a large city in the course of next year than will die in a small village in the course of next week.
Statistics!

History shows that the 24 year drought in A.D. 1276 through 1299 was even worse. No big cities gobbling up water at that time but so many Indian pueblos had to be abandoned from Southern Utah, Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, and many more.
Arizona has quite a lot of deep ground water, but it is so alkali it cannot be used.

Tree ring data shows good and bad years. There was a real dry period around 1275-1299.

I’d bet my well water has passed thru a whale’s urinary system.
Maybe more than once.

When you build a resort in the desert, you eventually go dry.
Sorry. Life sucks. Go to Cali.

Diversion of water is not the same as loss of water.
