This water thing worked so well up in Klamath, the greenies are pushing the myth that water is disapearing from all over. It's certianly an easy myth to get started, cause there's always a shortage somewhere, even though almost everyplace else has plenty of water that doesn't make the news.

The greenies got lots of political mileage out of Klamath. They're after a lot more. This issue will replace global warming, which has about worn out its welcome.

Waterwise, things are getting pretty grim in NM with reservoir levels low and increased numbers of people competing for limited water. It's all happened before, but folks have short memories and there are more of them this time.

What is not being explored/researched is how the minnows survive in areas where a drought completely isolates them from a continuous water supply. But when the rains come again, they're back doing their thing. These fish have evolved to be survivors. For example, there were attempts to breed them in captivity that failed until it was discovered they only breed in turbid water (such as murky water stirred up by spring runoff). The critters are hardy, but the envirowackos and their press friends play it for a disaster of the first magnitude.
