That will happen long before Las Vegas goes dry. Quoting: VegasRick Sorry haters. Mostly true - over 72% of Arizona water use is ag-based. No one needs to grow cotton, pecans and lettuce in a desert. False... golf courses have to use reclaimed water. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27493786 Pretty sure Los Angeles is well out of the Lake Meade watershed. Nope [link to www.register-herald.com (secure)] When the AC says watershed, he or she means the source, which is actually the Colorado river basin watershed - upper and lower. LA is one of the recipients of the watershed and reservoir. Water shed maybe, but LA also gets water from lake Mead or so the article states. What's interesting now is there was a compact for water rights to individual communities (cities) signed back in 1922. Based on the amount of water that flows on the Colorado river. With the heat in the west a percentage of the normal spring run-off isn't making it to the creeks and Colorado river due to evaporation and extremely dry ground - this is also the case in the Sierra's for the Oroville reservoir. Some cities like Grand Junction CO could potentially be denied some or all of its water. So, it's not just a NV, AZ and CA thing. The compact, I assume, would likely be renegotiated. This megadrought is causing a lot of headaches for water managers. |

User ID: 71761145 United States 07/26/2022 03:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | lake mead has been going dry for years. I watched a woman who was some muckity muck bigwig for water conservation for it and she was being interviewed and didn't even try to hide the fact that it was going dry and there were no solutions. There are very few people on GLP such as myself trying to make people understand that what you are seeing is the last book of the bible. you don't believe that, or even that God is. drought is not the only serious problem you are up against. There is an answer to all of it but it requires you give yourself to Jesus and he will keep you. it takes only a moment and costs you nothing to give one sincere prayer. You don't see fireworks go off when you do so you disregard your only hope. He made it as easy as he can to save you from all this, yet you can't bring yourself to jump into the only answer there is gonna be for you. You're out of time now. Good luck. ACTS 3:21 |

You think these people pouring across the border care about leaving the faucet running. They storm across the border and rape our land of its resources, while the country they come from has plenty of resources. It’s not migration, it’s an invasion. go back to Europe. There is plenty of water I didn't come from Europe MORON! |
