Cadillac Desert - 3. The Mercy of Nature (1 of 6) 

I remember seeing this on the local PBS station in the late 1990s; thanks for posting it.

I think a lot of cities in the southwest are doomed. It makes no sense to have cities as big as Las Vegas & Phoenix in the middle of deserts. At least L.A. is on the ocean and has the option of desalinization.

I borrowed the. 4 VHS cassettes from the delta public library (BC) ....first saw it on CBC tv late one night....got me obsessed with the American southwest....toured the Glen canyon dam drove over Hoover and all of it.

Extraordinary warning. "Third world" nations go to war over water, but in the near future many of us in the "first world" will feel the slap of drought and hear talk about going to war with a place that has more water than us, or less. Many countries are trying to buy water from Canada already. Thanks for sending me this!

its no different than a glorified Roman Aquaduct

This is what Jerry "Mullholland" Brown wants to do- Buy the Sacramento River for Big Ag and Southern California...while destroying the irreplaceable California Delta.

Ag Business?

Now 17 years latter the water is starting run out...

This wasn't a desert wastland until some of ya'll ancestors slaughtered the buffalo. A bit you want to think about prior to patting yourselves on the back.
