Lake Mead At Risk Of Becoming A "Dead Pool" 

What's that got to do with anything?

@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.

It's not only happening in desert surrounding areas...

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.

Here’s a big clue no power and scamming people into buying homes that are overpriced, but with no water no power and yes that means no drinking water. How long will it take to bring water from the Great Lakes? Hope that helps your 2.5 percent ( what could go wrong?)

It’s not about Vegas. It’s about growing the majority of our food in the desert. But that’s where cheap land and cheap labor to harvest the crops are. The best farm land in the world is used to grow gasoline. Only in America.

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.

Raiders just built a Stadium and moved the team to Vegas, i saw it being built when i was out there in fall of 2019 (just before the Pandemic rolled in).

Agriculture is by far the worst culprit. Growing cotton ,alfalfa and almonds the desert.... American greed, what could possibly go wrong ? Run out of water dummies.

@@angrysoybean1012 Forget those, they are growing RICE!

samuel clements said it long ago: whisky's for drinkin'...water's for fightin'

Yes, I was living in California in 1976 and things were so bad I returned to Michigan where I could have all the fresh drinking water I could ever desire.

In 18.. there was already a study and report on the water use and land development for that area (and throw in the bin). There is now a dry period of 20 years but looking at tree rings these can take as long as 60 years….

@@misme2000 If memory serves me well, I think the professor said that the Los Angeles basin provided enough water for a little over one hundred thousand people as the natural capacity of the water resources available before technology entered the equation.

This country hasn’t been a proactive country, since Nixon, who destroyed everything.

Idiotic

The grass we have in the desert uses much less water. The real problem is the farmers who flood their fields then just let the excess water evaporate away.

Farmers use 80% or more of the water. Virtually all of the agriculture in this area is dependent on irrigation. So when cut backs happen, you go where there is water.

There shouldn't be any farmers in the desert....

Moronic comment of the thread. Just the fact that you stated "move Ag production to the Great Lakes" shows how clueless you are. have you ever seen a tomato field around the great lakes in January? Wonder why not?

@@dmannevada5981 Greenhouses are an engineering problem, easily resolved. Water scarcity is not.

@@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.

You don't need to grow cotton in Arizona. It can grow in any southern state. We don't need dairy in the west. You can get cheese from Wisconsin and drink oat milk from south Dakota instead of cows milk. We don't need to grow rice in California.

@@jamestucker8088 True, but growing rice or cotton will not end until a century of water agreements are backed out, and use it or lose it ends. As one agency manager once stated..."changing a century of negotiated & litigated law is a political nightmare of biblical proportions". She was right. 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. Do you think Calif's dairy industry is just going to give it up...then you don't know human behavior. Just say'n.

They need to be closed now.

Most use the water they have in their ponds and reuse the same water over and over. The farms are the biggest users. Can't grow there without irrigation.

Good let 50000000000 more illegals in that will help with water Shortages. 💧

Amen. Do not grow even 1 blade of grass in a desert. Artificial turf is green enough.

@Bob Gorn well, it certainly doesn’t help the situation. It would be better if they moved to the east. Who cares what color they are, they are still sucking up water.

Greedy capitalism will ruin it every time

Chinas reforestation program kind of proves this thought to be incorrect.

because politics is a 'shoot the messanger' system. The people who caused the problems are long out of office, so everyone else kicks the can down the road as long as possible. Nobody wants to be the one who pulls the trigger on drastic actions. Can you imagine being the local politicians who makes it illegal to water lawns? Or dictates which crops can be grown?

Politics is the only way anything ever changes. Better politicians start with better, more informed voters.

Climate change, intensive agriculture and Nestle bottling water

the ones moving to vegas and phoenix are people leaving california which has sparked a giant housing boom, probably what's driving these sudden water shortages

You should've rented it out and sold it now. You would've almost doubled your money.

It’s sad because many are leaving Hawaii due to the cost of living and moving to Vegas. Five years from now, with no water in Vegas many will be in a very bad situation.

10! More like 3!

That technology is important. We are in a constant race with China and Russia. If they gain a significant advantage, we are at risk along with many of our allies. If we didn't have that military advantage, those countries would exploit our weaknesses. Americans live in their own little world oblivious of everything around them.

In California alone there are 11 desalination plants with 10 more proposed so it IS happening right now but it's not without it's own challenges. It takes 2 gallons of sea water to make 1 gallon of fresh water and the 1 gallon of salty brine has to be returned to the sea "responsibly" to avoid any serious impact on the environment and the sea life.

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.

@@googiegress7459 Thank you! This viddie is where I got the idea. Why don't we do this?

@@Steve_Hayden It does seem like it's right up the alley of independent-minded Texans etc. Even if you're in town, get off the grid by paying the cost for your own infrastructure, lower your bills, be self-sufficient.

We blame each other when the ones we should be blaming in the gas and oil companies they ramped up this

You are part of the problem "raul" you just don't realize it

So are the tens of millions of people that live there just supposed to go live elsewhere and use up all the resources wherever that may happen to be?

Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't Colorado share its water with some Western states? Particularly California?

I actually had to write a report on that movie my senior year of high school back in 2012 as part of an environmental science class I took. Climate change was a huge part of that class and yet only 5 of us out of nearly 1,000 took that class that year. It’s astonishing to see how a decade later and climate change is still somehow “under the radar” knowledge…rip…

Sorry , not buying it !! Water cannot be destroyed , it is simply redistributed ... the Earth goes thru cycles , & the rain will bring the water back !! IF Gore was right about what he said then half of Florida would be under 3 ft. of water right now !!

😆 only a loon would think people can control the weather!

Its more like the democrat government that claims to be saving the enviroment by getting rid of dams, nuclear plants and fire roads are bad boys. #SpankCalifornia

I think it’s a B29 … if you do get to see it, it will be encrusted with invasive zebra mussels, unfortunately. The parks service is in charge of the crash site.

I was thinking the same thing about people who lose their homes to floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and forest fires every few years in other parts of the country.
