Great Video Production!

This is awesome. This channel needs *SMZEUS*!!

This is a fantastic presentation on the history of DWA. There was a question at the end of the presentation about Berdoo Camp / Canyon. In my presentation to the Desert Hot Springs Historical Society on "The Hidden Waters of Desert Hot Springs" I go into detail on the Coachella Tunnels and the various development camps such as Berdoo. th-cam.com/video/cGLUeZ43RZQ/w-d-xo.html

There have been droughts since this planet was from according to history. There will be droughts in the next 500 years. The problem is the population growth. At some point population control needs to be addressed.

THIRD YEAR? Really? Just another half truth. No water to the farm, no food. Get it?

Lake Mead's water levels are currently dropping 1/2 to 1.5 inches a day or about 3 feet monthly. Something needs to be done. Lake Powell is as bad or worse now.

Newsom wants to remove four dams on the Klamath River that hold 45-billion gallons of fresh water. Draining the 45-Billion gallons of water from Copco and Iron Gate Lakes and destroying structurally sound water-storage dams during a water crises that is combined with catastrophic wildfires and shortage of energy is just insane.

Who would have guessed a water supply problem in a desert?!?

Don’t cry for the water wen you still have green golf in California and Arizona

Poor California . I feel sad for the state

So they will suck the aquifer dry too... and then the land will truly be baron.

Until they limit every home in the State to a specific amount, and make business accountable... this will continue... until the end... and the end is closer than anyone knows.

NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE WHO WILL WATER LAWNS AND WASH CARS IN SPITE OF DROUGHT CONDITIONS!!!

HOW RIDICULOUS, CALIFORNIA IS SURROUNDED BY ENDLESS SEAWATER AND ALL IS NEEDED IS A MASSIVE DESALINATION PLANT BUILT. THIS IS WHERE RESEARCH SHOULD GO FINDING NEW WAYS TO MAKE FRESHWATER IN BILLIONS OF GALLONS. HAVE A HUGE PIPING SYSTEM PUMPING THEM INTO LAKE MEAD AND START OVER. ALS GLACIAL ICE IS POURING INTO THE SEAS AS WELL ABOUT A MILLION GALLONS A MINUTE WHICH COULD BE HARVESTED AND SHIPPED ALL OVER THIS ARID WORLD...FOR DECADES!!!

I've talked about this situation many times on my channel

plant-agriculture is destroying our planet. we should stop eating that fuck*ng nonsense and EAT MEAT!

1st...... golf courses are green

One thing we need to do is move water from the ocean back inland to places we need it and if we can do that while generating clean energy we have a chance to mitigate climate change and still have a prosperous future. It is really, really hard but it is not impossible. The biggest idea I am trying to express is tunneling aqueducts from the coast, in this case the west coast of the USA inland to feed combination geothermal power and sea water desalination plants. The idea seems to be so big that no one has considered it possible but I believe it is not only possible but it is necessary. For over a century the fossil water contained in aquifers has been pumped out to feed agriculture, industry and municipal water needs. The natural water cycle cant refill fossil water deposits that were filled 10,000 years ago when the glaciers melted after the last ice age. Without refilling these aquifers there is not much of a future for the region of the United states. As a result ground levels in some areas of the San Joaquin Valley have subsided by more than 30 feet. Similar fossil water depletion is happening in other regions all around the world. TBM and tunneling technology has matured and further developments in the industry are poised to speed up the tunneling process and it's these tunnels that are the only way to move large volumes of water from the ocean inland. The water is moved inland to areas where it can be desalinated in geothermal plants producing clean water and power. In many cases the water will recharge surface reservoirs where it will be used first to make more hydro power before being released into rivers and canal systems. It's very important however to not stop tunneling at these first stops but to continue several legs until the water has traveled from the ocean under mountain ranges to interior states. Along the way water will flow down grade through tunnels and rise in geothermal loops to fill mountain top pumped hydro batteries several times before eventually recharging several major aquifers. What I am proposing is essentially reversing the flow of the Colorado River Compact. Bringing water from the coast of California first to mountaintop reservoirs then to the deserts of Nevada and Arizona and on to Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. This big idea looks past any individual city or states problems and looks at the whole and by using first principles identifies the actual problem and only solution. Thank you for your time, I would like the opportunity to explain in further detail and answer any questions

The politician made this problem! Permanent Fix: CA uses 109 cubic km a year. The Columbia lose 236 cubic km into The Pacific every year - What a waste. Only 1 to 15% of this will fix thsi. CA should buy water from the North. You only need a 358m/573km long tunnel, that is easy (China new Aquaducts are more expensive and advanced).

irrigation + rainfall = evaporation + transpiration + runoff + leaching Which one of these processes do Farmers really have control over during the growing season? If you have the ability to irrigate your sandy soils and water is cheap and plentiful, then you are fortunate and have some control on the left side of the equation. If you do not have irrigation, you must look at the factors on the right side of the equation to see what can be controlled or minimized to benefit your crop. Evaporation from the soil surface can be reduced with mulch or leaving crop residue on the soil surface. Transpiration is a function of the plant leaf surface area and the weather. Runoff is or should be minimal in sandy textured soils with high percolation rates. This leaves the leaching of water out of the root zone as the #1 controllable loss of moisture to your crop. Interrupting the downward movement of moisture in your soil by installing a "smart" barrier can greatly reduce the leaching of water and nutrients. SWRT subsurface membranes detain/retain up to 90% of irrigation or rainfall in the root zone for crop use by disrupting the gravitational movement of water in the soil while still allowing excess water to percolate and do not create anaerobic soil conditions.

Talking about how important "water conservation" is with a lush desert golf course in the background. LOL. How lame was that?

When will the next webinar be?

"And we saw them growing alfalfa" 3:02. Alfalfa is a water intensive crop with a poor return for every acre-foot of water. It is very common for farmers in the arid southwest to choose to grow water intensive crops.

But why does this mean happen

No way that's my school !!

My car paint was damaged by going to a car wash that use recycled water never again.

First View!

Great Ad! Go DWA! Go Indians!

Cheerleaders, front row, second from right. Yeah, Faith!!

Yeah! Go Ashley! Great channel and interview.
