Farmington, NM population 45,000
shut off intakes of river water
Providing water for 60,000 + people $$$$$$$
Once it hits the Colorado River, the bureaucrats in DC will begin to realize that the drinking water for California is about to be shut off.
THEN...they’ll think about damming up the spill.
This is a massive environmental disaster. The entire area relies on this river (and the San Juan that it feeds into) for their livelihood in some form or another.
