Lake Mead Plunges To Record Low Amid Drought-pocalypse

I am worried this will be the fate of Texas as well. Hopefully they get their heads out of their posteriors soon.

1) Don't build in the desert.
2) Don't put 10 houses on one acre of land
3) Get more people off public water supplies and more on private wells where you actually worry about waking up one morning to have no water!
4) Stop with the lawn vanity already!

Looks like California’s ideals are about to come crashing into their needs and requirements. Resource conservation is an ideal put forth to do away with resource development. Turns out CA really doesn’t care about conservation. Just control.

Watch out for the mass migration.

'Moment of reckoning:' Federal official warns of Colorado River water supply cuts

'Moment of reckoning:' Federal official warns of Colorado River water supply cuts (yahoo.com)

"The Colorado River’s reservoirs have diminished to the point that significant cuts to the water supplied to the seven states that rely on it will be necessary next year, a federal official warned Tuesday.

Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee maintaining “critical levels” at the largest reservoirs in the United States — Lake Mead and Lake Powell — will require large reductions in water deliveries."

"But human demands for water from the Colorado have far outstripped what it can provide — indeed, what it ever could provide."

Everytime I turn the weather channel on they're talking about all the rain and flooding in Arizona, Colorado and California. Where's all that water going?

Into the parched ground. Few or No reservoirs.

I thought lake mead was a huge reservoir. A lot must be running in to the Colorado River too. California has a number of reservoirs.

Swimming Pools

When they start "banning" them, instead of farming, I might think they are seriously concerned.

Many people get their swimming pool water out of the ocean. Don't know how many have salt water pools though.

If California was truly serious about doing something to save water, they'd start by deporting millions of illegal aliens and other undesirables.

These brown invaders might be drinking MY water, but they’re not using it to take baths and showers. They stink!
