What part of in La do you not understand
With all the rain the Mississippi valley has had this year and the river having record water flows it is hard to imagine living in a place where water use is regulated and allotted.

But then again I guess this is what you get when you put cities the size of Vegas; square miles of produce fields; and dairy farms that measure the herd in thousands of cows; in the middle of a desert that gets 4 inches of rain per year.
 
It has been discussed before,building a pipeline for water. That way nobody will have any.
 
I don?t know how big that rock is but if it?s the one I think it is the water mark is about 250 feet below where it once was .
 
You forgot the hundreds of freakin' golf courses. Water well wasted - not. Flew over the exit of the Colorado River some years ago, a dribble.
 
I big pipe line. And solar panels and wind mills could power the pumps. It could be a huge infrastructure project, and create jobs. And there would be no pipeline protests from anyone, because water is not a pollutant. And it would Be safe and never spill anything. And we could wash our cars and water lawns and have swimming pools. Just like the American dream told us. Ahhh. Suburban bliss.
 
My thought is there are workers available but they don't want to work unless they're paid like doctors and lawyers.
 
I was surfing Google Maps out west and took a look at Hoover Dam; 2019 imprint in the map. Water level was WAY up from the last time I looked, 10 years ago. Do agree that without water the desert would be a waste land. Have 2 sisters living in AZ; non ag. folks.
 
For the robots that will soon be doing all our heavy toil jobs. Then, we lay in our pools sipping our cool drinks, and cash our living wage paychecks. Suburban bliss.
