Water is part of a cycle. It doesn’t burn up much.
I live in eastern Washington near the Tri Cities. It is a low elevation desert bewteen 350 and 600 feet above sea level, with an average annual rainfall around 7 inches. The only reason the Columbia Basin has any water for irrigation is from the government construction projects to provide it.
So when we hear its a low water year or drought that means the snow pack in the mountains is low and less water diverted to the irrigation projectss.
what, no drought in Mehico?
The cause of this is not due to a draught! It is due to years of environazi practices of standing in the way of water storage.
I hope the delta smelt are doing great!
“What are we going to do once all the water is gone?”
Die. If you are dumb enough not to use an existing technology to extract clean water from what covers 75% of the earth, then you do not deserve to live.
We built the Alaska pipeline 40 years ago. Take a hint. Build a national pipeline network, desalinate water and send it inland.
