TRUE!!!!

Golf courses are where important people relax and make decisions, something you know nothing about. It's vital the grass is kept watered properly for everyones comfort and security. If poor people have to use a little less water in the summer because of this then that is a small price to pay. Water isn't a right it's a privilege and if you aren't privileged you ought to learn to do without it.

@@georgehill3087 In Utah Irrigation uses 72% of water. In the US the number is 33%. Almost half of water is first used by hydroelectrics. So not only are we going to see states with food problems, we’re going to see states (like California) with blackouts.

If all those states kicked out the non residents the problem would be solved.

cant use the lawn cuz the HOA will fine you

Many of the older homes in the Phoenix Area use a system of watering their lawns that is more efficient: The lawn is surrounded by a small dike, and as level, as possible; pipes are installed at strategic locations, and turned on once a week, flooding the lawn, with the water soaking in quickly, with little evaporation. Using native vegetation and heat-tolerant grasses is also an option, as is landscaping with gravel, or rocks.

@@HSKFabrications hopefully California can also cut funding the rest of the country. 5th largest economy in the world. Really though, we need to figure out on how to be more water conscious. Anything that uses a ton of water needs to be determined if it's essential, monitored, reduced or turned off.

Yeah! Whoo-da-thunk?

that's a myth. the vast majority of water in lake mead is used in california agriculture. las vegas is allocated something like 2% of the water, and doesn't even use it all. the las vegas water district is among the best in the country at preserving water. learn a thing or two before you comment. blame california's wasteful habits.

There used to be a massive lake in California but it was drained to grow cotton on the lake bed.

@@oli_onion It's worse than that. As farmers continuously drill deeper and deeper to reach the lowering water table, the land has subsided as much as 10 feet in some places. Still sinking. The water that used to replenish the lake and the water table has/is diverted and used elsewhere, mostly to the coast. If (guessing) the water was used in the valley, I suspect that the water table wouldn't be depleted.., or certainly not as much. However, evaporation from irrigation might(?) be enough to lower the level. Another devastating problem is mineralization. A few decades ago, I was in the area (for work) Square mile upon square mile of farmland was abandoned because of the minerals left behind from evaporation after decades of pumped (well water) irrigation. In the middle of the summer, the fields looked like they were covered with snow. Very similar in appearance to the sea salt evaporation ponds in Mexico. According to locals I spoke with, there was nothing that could be done. Seeing this, I began to truly understand the devastation that ancient armies did when "salting the land" of their enemies 😳 No conquering enemies were involved there, though. They did it to themselves.

Yh and people who built communities in tornado alley have too face tornados!?!? The humanity. Humans have conquered every environment there is, and will always. This is a challenge that will set us up for challenges in space travel. Just remember how many benefiting technology humans created to make hostile environments usable. 200 years ago living in a desert was a death sentence, now it’s economically viable just showing you how far humanity has gotten.

Video said that a large percentage of the electricity generated from Hoover, goes to CA. Maybe this will also aid the rolling blackouts in CA especially since they've banned all new fossil fuel AND nuclear generation possibilities.

Don't drink do much

Yes but that would require California actually starting the billions of dollars in turbines they have sitting idle to power the desalination plants. Although realistically if they just started practicing proper forest management like the rest of the planet they would have a century of timber to burn in their boilers instead of it burning their houses down annually. But better to pretend to fix a problem and feel good about it versus actually addressing a problem.

Those require enormous amounts of power, and they dumb toxic brine right into the ocean

@@Girtharmstrong69 There is oil and natural gas all over California and the brine will be used for something once it is produced if there is money involved The capitalist way and a nuclear power plant has been there for a long time and there’s still fish in the ocean what is your solution to the drought

@@gargar8196 why must I have a solution myself to criticize bad ideas?

@@gargar8196 if someone wanted to kill 90% of people on earth to deal with overpopulation are you saying I must have an alternative solution before saying mass genocide is a bad idea? I don’t understand your dumbass logic

Ranches have been bought just for the water rights.

They don't say that in Vegas...which doesn't have water issues.

@@dmannevada5981 Las Vegas recycles almost all of their water and they return it to the reservoir. You're not very educated on this subject, are ya?

@@dmannevada5981 almost all of Las Vegas' water comes from Lake Mead. Do some research.

.The weather is controlled by our military. They could fill Hoover Dam to the brim if they wanted too. They are using weather as a weapon to dry out and burn up the West and flood the rest of the USA.

@@fyg1057 No

there is more water than land here on earth...

The worlds water is limitless, we just need to use it with our brains...

i stopped eating almonds about 5 years ago once i learned how much water it takes to grow them.

California shouldn’t be growing almonds and rice

Cashews are the best anyway.

@@RKZX2 how much water did that save

Yea, atmosheric water generators and 100 gallon tanks will be the norm in 20 years.

@@normadurr818 The liberal states keep insisting on growing because they'll have more electoral votes to swing elections.

They also have to stop farming in the desert. In fact we probably shouldnt do anything in the desert.

100 Recycle water already. Including golf courses. Lake Powell has seepage that will drain dry first lake mead will survive

@@getchasome6230 Where do you get your so called facts? From crooked Trump? You might want to check your facts before being stupid in front of everybody. As far as I know, Texas is not a liberal state and they are one of the fastest growing states in the country stupid….

People are quick to forget. We all know about the water levels going down. We see it every year. Then we forget when the winter comes around. People are arguing for more proactive measures like quit building water chugging suburbs in deserts but nobody listens and people forget. The water will eventually dry up because humanity are fucking idiots and people always think someone else will solve their problems so they keep driving gas guzzling suvs and buying suburban homes in a desert. Ignoring facts hoping someone will come along.

@Bob Watters it actually borders California. But you are correct that a large portion of the river is used for agriculture in the Imperial Valley.

And desert farming as well, probably quadrupled

Capitalism, baby!

@Bob Watters California has 10% of the population so nearly everything should go to California - or at least 1 in 10 of everything. California also subsidizes half the "Republican" (read: poor) states. I guess that makes California a success that the blood suck leeches in Texas are draining and blaming on Cali 🤔
