FWIW: Residential consumption is only about 7% of the water supplied from the colo. river. about 85% goes to farming, and about another 7% goes to thermal power plants. This will most like effect food prices & residential use including green lawns & golf courses is just a drop in the bucket.

@Jack L. Thanx for the tip...I had no idea. Btw, "cities in the desert" use very little water in the scheme of things. You did know that, right? Las Vegas as an example receives a 2% water allocation per the Colorado Compact. It currently uses 2/3rds of that 2% allocation to support a city approaching 2.5 million. You knew that, right? The BOR's own data states that as much as 83% of the water in some years is used to irrigated crops, crops that are feeding you and the world. You knew that, right? So tell me now, how are "cities in the desert" a bad idea when water usage is so low in the scheme of things...remember that 83% Ag usage before you reply.

The southwest is now a desert, but it is actually the Drylands. Drylands have plenty of water. When people are stealing it from rivers and aquifers, they run out. When you capture it through the rain cycle and plant enough trees, you can have plenty of stable water. Our cities will perish unless people start to produce rather than consume.

@@Cosmodjinn There is not a 'natural" water scarcity issue in the traditional sense, it's a human created usage issue. Water isn't going anywhere, but, when one region on the country is essentially "exporting" that resource to the rest of the country, you'll eventually reach "peak" fruition as we are seeing. The Colorado River, or the west for that matter, can't be the primary supplier of what is referred to as "soft" agriculture, and not start having water issues as the population and demand grows without reducing that consumption, or adding another water source. Think about these facts. 1. Over 90% of N. America's winter fruits & veggies produced from Oct-Apr are produced with Colorado river water. That's not even considering the year round production, or the production sent internationally. 2. Calif is the largest "soft" Ag producing state. Florida is #2. But, in hectares, Calif's production is 40x larger than Florida's. The difference between the #1 & #2 states is 40x. THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT. 3. The BOR's own data states that in some years, as much as 83% of the Colorado's flow rate is being used to irrigated crops. Where you aware of any of the facts I stated? So you see, this is about a management issue. Tech & the global economy changed the game. We can now produce Ag 24/7 365 all over the world, something unavailable on this scale just a few decades ago. At what point in history, if you lived in say Minneapolis, Montreal or NYC, you didn't have access to the plethora of Ag available today, you had to can you fruits & veggies to get through the long N. American fall/winter/spring and store them in fruit/canning cellars. Fruits and canning cellars were common just 2-3 generations ago. They were made obsolete by tech. American's soon may be forced to go back to "canning" like previous generations once did, or get used to a limited supply at their grocery stores if the water being exported is not replace with another source. That is a reality Americans may face soon.

This is political because it's jobs and tax revenue. If you were at the end of this, you'd be political too. Also, Wisconsin produces some of the best dairy products in America. But Wisconsin can't produce dairy on the scale Calif does for a variety of reasons, particularly, commodity dairy. Calif has been the largest dairy producing state for generations, you and I will be dust to Earth before that changes. It's nice to say or think something, but it's not reality.

The dams along the Colorado River basin have the ability to hold about 4 years of average runoff. We have been in a prolonged drought over the whole basin. Thankfully we have that multi-year storage ability in the basin or we would be in deep trouble today. The drought very well may continue and we will have to cut back usage more but there is also the chance we will have some wet years like in 82 and 83 where we had so much water it was spilling over the dams and flowing into the Gulf of California.

Look up some info about California's water privatization scheme of the 1990s... they basically did “Enron for water” (i.e. created an artificial market for water use rights that exist on paper even if the actual water doesn't exist in reality) so big agribusinesses could have an excuse to plant massive new expanses of water-intensive cash crops like almonds and pistachios, and big developers could have an excuse to build massive new expanses of McMansion sprawl. For agribusiness in particular, these fruit and nut trees are big long-term investments that require an enormous and consistent water supply (almond growing requires more than a gallon of water per nut) or else they'll die, so planting so much of them basically amounts to a deliberate strategy of making your business “too big to fail” in order to strongarm the government into putting your interests first.

The tap water here is hard water , if I wash it with that garbage , I have to dry it all off too. Nothing is cooler than throwing on the dry ducks , during the rain. Only tiny bits of soap , because of the naturally distilled rainwater. Yeah I don't really do just to save water , I do it because I am lazy , and cheap 😊

Once again the almighty dollar over power’s reality, billions spent on new citys, mega resorts, golf courses.Developers only care about building and not the impact it will cause in years to come, this is not a desert community problem, this happens in every single city we go to. Condos built in the most crowded city intersections and mixed use(stores on bottom, condos on top) and nothing done to freeways or roadways.

Geologist John Wesley Powell warned of this is 1893 when adressing the irrigation council proposing the Westward sprawl. He stated " Gentlemen, you are piling up a heritage of conflict amd litigation over water rights for there is not sufficient water to supply the land." This is not an example of climate change, it is an example of not following the science. We built golf courses, dams, communities, farms, and casinos in an area that could not provide enough water.

As an Australian traveling through Nevada, Arizona, and California back in 2013, I stopped and saw the Hoover dam. It was low back then, so things must be really dire now. I heard folks in Arizona water golf courses with the water from Lake Mead. Not really a smart idea if you want water to last. Same with cotton farming... Still, it's not like we can talk here in Australia. We're pulling water from the Murray river for cotton farming, and our water levels are dropping rapidly too.

What ppl do inn other countries is paint their roofs white on every house, and have a run off from the house that goes into a 2k water container. With a filter system. That way every house catches their own water supply. (plus we could be still hooked to city water as back up)
