#NBCNews #Colorado #Water
All of that snow melt in the Sierra’s is going straight into the ocean! Ca doesn’t have enough reservoir’s to capture all of that water. Most if not all of the reservoirs are over capacity.
And greasy hair Newsome blew all the money plus more. No reservoirs.
i mean, the progressives don't want sea levels to rise but are pushing all that run off into the ocean and making people suffer in Cali/etc
They don’t really care.
Control of water= control of the people.
There is no mention of overuse by growing agricultural products in a desert or the continual population growth in a desert (the LA area is a desert, in addition to Phoenix and Las Vegas) with no plans of slowing down. Nope, we'd rather blame it all on climate change.
Residents of California have no need for Colorado River water. It is agricultural that uses it. Approximately 80% of all the water in California is used by agriculture, 10% by residents, and 10% commercial. Residents can afford any water source it is agricultural with their wasteful use that needs free or dirt cheap water.
Between all these states they couldn’t build desalination stations? They knew there were problems a decade or two ago.
If you don't mind paying $6 a gallon for water
Yeah....we living in those states dont need water. Only the ones the polticians can choose. It doesnt effect them. Ah
Six to eight million people coming across the border does not help. More people, more water usage. It is not rocket science.
Not for though.
In order to meet supply for all western States. Water Capture Projects should be the Primary Focus.
NATURE/GOD ALWAYS PROVIDES...Oh so much we could have learned from Indians who used to live w/nature...anyways...FEAR FEAR FEAR that we will run out of everything! Ummm...if only our govt ACTUALLY cared about the citizens!
It can’t be enforced. This is just a gentleman agreement.
This could have all been prevented by building more reservoirs every decade!
Totally rewrite colo river law to reflect the new century
It was never sustainable. When they divided up the water allotments way back when, the colorado river was at an unusually high flow rate.
Don’t give California a drop
With the recent rains and record snow fall in 2022/23 it’s not as critical as once thought..
Never ever evidence this exists
Blud did not look at the photos of the alarmingly low water table 🗣🔥‼️💯🙈
you know there is no evidence that would change your mind
I’d recommend that the TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE that moved to the desert in recent decades consider relocating BACK to the east side of the Great Plains & north of about I-20. Much less nobody else move to said desert unless they know what they’re getting into.
Yeah, like this is good for the environment. More hypocrisy.
And Las Vegas gets to waste water like crazy and the small farmer will suffer I’m sure !
Colorado should use their reservations
They’ll cooperate when they run out pf water.
California doesn’t deserve one drop of that water
California gets only a small percentage of its water from the Colorado River.
prep notice water prices up,soon it will be nation wide prep
Everyone fix your leaking plumbing. Real estate investors quit buying property in desert areas...
NCR is wildin
Just cut allocations by a fixed percentage.
Las Vegas is the most water efficiant city in the world so it is not fair to reduce their allotment the same as you would for the water hogs.
Ca waist water to desert for years
Do none of you read, check out the problem of Capetown south Africa
YOU ARE STILL IN A TOTAL DISASTER
Everyone is correct,
Yet this is biblical prophecy!
We are in the beginning of the end of of days.
Las Vegas is the most water-efficient city in the WORLD. Cali and AZ need to step up. Also, this has NOTHING to do with climate change. The fact is that when they originally divided up the water allotments way back when, the colorado river was at an unusually high peak of flow. It was never sustainable.
BS BS BS
Seems like alot of people are living where it isn't pheasable to live.
To little to late as the demands grow faster as millions of people moving north from the south , and excessive delays in doing nothing . This will only allow a political show . The use of sea water osmosis process for farmers with a container size commercial water system is only about 30 million and can be portable for disaster support. As well as natural gas electrical generating commercial system about the same cost . That would allow drinking water and electricity all commercial and mobile that pays for itself with savings that grow in time as well . Yet the already to go systems have turned Saudi Arabia into a very green and food production from even the most hostile environment . Yet Americans are to behind the eight ball and have allowed control to the few on basic life needs to a few who can demand excessive costs and drive costs up to allow corporate greed to dictate the stock holders rise in profits . And not be affected by the demands placed upon the public . In first small then medium then as population growth is maxed by even greater numbers as more disasters across Latin American do to natural resources plundering forced upon poverty level work force restrictions while never investing in any major manufacturing only sending that to distant nations that prosper then control costs and restrict the products for higher rewards . That Latin American would be much easier and transportation costs and green environment enhancements that also allow less poverty and better environmental practices with social unity that denies the cartel practices of control that if not checked will grow so strongly that it will take a army decades to control at a further disaster if not acted upon now will bring conflicts on scales that will demand a full size army among the boarder that will turn into a Ukraine type conflict within 35 years .
The water will evaporate 15% faster than 2 years before, so the drought will come sooner, than before. Earth has not set itself in the pattern most would see it coming to yet. The temperatures will remain high, even as it tries to cool itself off. Just clear the muck in the air, so it can be beautiful again.
The global temperature has only risen by 1c since 1880.
How gullible you must be
Lol
The answer again is DUH ... 🤡🤪
Native tribes shouldnt have to share water !
We done shares our whole country with all these invaders
Colorado and Family All Colorado Happy investment in police and peace and Happiness YES families in police New Femily all business peace okay TNX GOOD
Gays for TRUMP ✊🏽🏳️🌈
