When a state has increased its population but not its water sources then it’s going to be a problem. I’ve lived in California for 47’years and seen this state double it’s population but never once created a new water containment facility.
Fyi that many here in Tucson still watering gardens like they would literally flood the roads of excess water; apartment complexes sprinklers are not properly maintained spraying water all over.
Honestly not a bad idea. It won't do much to fix the water problem, but it'll definitely help keep from pumping more greenhouse gases in the air to make electricity.
Yes I have pool what about it. I pay my water bills. You think everyone wants to go to public swimming pool. Where your kids piss in the water. I even help pay for your public pools and will never use them. I pay higher sewer usage fees even know my pool water don't go in the sewers.

And yet we are at the top of the list in the country when it comes to population growth. Let’s see if people are going to continue coming here and outbidding and buying properties at overblown prices and taking the locals out of the market.
The interesting thing is that you don’t hear about the drought in Southern California. I suspect the reason that our media doesn’t report on it is because water conservation means less money for the public utilities. Instead of taking action on water recycling and new reservoirs we wasted money on a high speed train to nowhere.
In Prescott valley they keep building houses and letting people move here without restraint. Greed, greed, greed. If I was a prospective buyer I would move somewhere else. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better if a all. I doubt very few people consider water resources when they approach a realtor, and the greedy realtors are going to say anything or they will lie.
instead of oil pipe lines we need water pipe lines to harvest water from floods in the east and south and from the north. it can be filtered and used. the flood water just goes to the ocean so why is there not a way to harvest it?? if you can do it with oil why not water??

I want to feel bad but I don’t. John Wesley Powell called it over a hundred years ago after his expedition in the West in his report to Congress that parts of the West were not suitable for settling or rapid urbanization due to the arid climate.
Our water is delivered to us at 2000 gallons a load and it lasts us a year and that's our needs along with watering our wild animals. It's called conserving water we go through 4 gallons a day with the exception of bathing and laundry. A bath takes 3 gallons and laundry takes 9 . We don't use it to flush toilet we use compost toilet. And the wild animals get about 4 gallons every other day depending on who shows up. We have cattle that the rancher don't even water here the poor things . But we manage with 3000 gallons a year and it cost 130$ a load .
No more automatic sprinkler systems in desert climates. There should be mandatory xeriscaping. Drip irrigation for crops. Water is life. Luxurious landscapes are for competition with neighbors.
How much ya wanna bet the dozens of golf courses still get watered like clockwork? Nothing's gonna change as long as there's monetary incentive not to.
Drougth: CA and rest off the South West got 2 choice, fix the problem or keep the water problem! CA got 85,9 m acre foot, Coloumbia river dumps 191,3 m foot into The Pasific every year. Move 10% off this water. Make a 365m long tunnel from Red Bluff. NV, AZ, Mexico can then keep Colorado water.
What. Arizona has 3 crops that will nevet change and the best growing technology is always being adopted. Bet $50 you can't name 1 of the 2 farm crops that fuel Arizona's national food dependence. Go!
AZ water management is fine for half a decade under current drought conditions. But yes, on the ground something can be done to mitigate our water usage. Farming will always be the largest.
Arizona is well known for its water management systems especially its urban water program and mitigating chronic water scarcity typically means rationing, diversion programs and over-pumping, none of which addresses the basic lack of water. It is a finite resource, a concept that is intellectually easy to comprehend but difficult to adapt to in practice.
The best in the nation, possibly worldwide--and there's no rationing at the moment which I've disagreed with since Roosevelt Lake was at capacity a few years ago. Urban AZ is built ontop of the most naturally diverse desertscape on earth. Northern Mexico ain't no stranger to this. AZ, for now, has no need to tap deep into earth for water.
CAP does a great job. And guess who's the leader...SRP. this is a rare opporunity where private/state ideas continue to progeess. And AZ isn't suffering from water yet. Side note: northern Mexico and the Phoenix valley plopped itself in the heart of the Sonoran Desert. Mother Nature will treat us well for eternity.

I do laundry by hand and only use six gallons a load have a compost toilet use three gallons for a bath and maybe three gallons a day for drinking and cooking. I actually give more water to the wild animals. We go through only 3000 gallons a year if that.

@@redcowcat8705 and how about the fountains in Vegas there are a lot of ways to save water and electricity bit the big corporations don't want to.

Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
i think its funny that they screwed farmers and land owners when they built the canals to bring water to california in the first place, and now the water is being taken back by mother nature. lol.
