At one point, Arizona had like 6 cities in top 10 of houses with swimming pools.

You keep completely skipping over irrigation water demand in central California, which is what I have constantly emphasized in my responses.
If absolutely zero water for irrigation in the Central Valley and San Bernardino and Imperial counties was siphoned from the supply that is allocated to California, there would be more water available generally.
Idk how we are having this large of a disconnect on such a simple point
I am saying California needs to pull more water from the Western Sierras than it currently is, and using that water to satisfy its agricultural needs. This would relieve demand on Lake Mead, etc.
I am not suggesting anything that has anything to do with SoCal’s drinking water

No, not at all.
See Denmark and the Sahara for reference.

This is what people are not understanding human consumption is actually fairly low in comparison to what is being used to irrigate farmland

Definitely would have limited population growth in areas where it is unsustainable otherwise.

It wasn’t a take over but the Feds did a better job with the Old Navy Yard than LaToya and NOLA.

There ARE laws governing the distribution of water in the western states.
The G'ment has ignored the one forbidding taking water from one drainage basin for use elsewhere.
I expect we are about to hear from folks who don't even know water law exists and that it's not the same as Riparian Law in the east.

Where one can shelter and re-build and have all the natural resources needed to live.
You don’t have water…you don’t have shite dumbass.

As good as we are at pipelining, why aren't there any fresh water pipelines from places with bunches of water (like La or the Great Lakes) to places in the West?
Because the pipeline would go through the habitat of the spotted dung worm and MAY make it extinct. IF this happens it would wreck the earths Ecco system for ever!
So you end up with some fat lesbian’s with pink hair chained to a tree somewhere and her skinny past white malnourished guy friend who identifies as He/You tossing firebombs at the pipeline crew.
Of course some of those guys who identify as She/It may show up when they hear “pipeline” thinking it’s a sausage rave.

Part of the upper basin has gotten rain for aboot 4 of the last 6 days. I can't find what that is supposed to do for the water levels.

Feds stepping in to 'help'...scary at best.

As in they’ve gotten better at crime, not prevention of it. I should have clarified.

Isn’t Lake mead dropping 5 feet per week? 75 weeks at that rate and it’s over.

Oh well glad I live on my watershed I expect California and others to sue Wyoming and Montana because the Missouri River should flow west south west and not north east. Wait for it

Not really. There's a reason why that civilization moved from the area prior to white folks even being remotely in the picture.
Hint: Their water dried up and couldn't support their crops anymore.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
