I think God just hates one particular state more then the others.
His hate seems to radiate from there.

Quote HistoryQuoted: De-sal takes a lot of energy. Too bad there wasn't a clean, abundant energy source that could be used to power de-sal either through electricity or heat from co-generation. *coughnuclear* Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: If only they had a coast line that was surrounded by 1,200 miles of water and DE-salination technology existed.... oh wait. Too bad there wasn't a clean, abundant energy source that could be used to power de-sal either through electricity or heat from co-generation. *coughnuclear* Nuclear energy is dangerous. Nevermind that about 50 people have ever died, world wide, from civilian nuclear energy production. It's too dangerous! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Vegas has literally nothing to do with it. The entire state of Nevada only gets a ~2% allotment of water distributed from the Colorado river. Vegas could disappear entirely and it would almost be meaningless to the water problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_River_Compact Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Was out at Hoover earlier this year. It was pretty fucking depressing. Last time I was there as a kid, they almost had water tripping the spillways it was so high. This time? Hundreds and hundreds of feet low. You could see parts of the lake bed that probably hadn't been exposed since the dam was filled. Meanwhile Vegas had exponentially increased in size, go figure.

Screw the State of California. No, we don't want to send our water there, by aqueduct or otherwise, because if it interests California's moronic progressive shitheads now, it ends up eventually screwing us all over. It would be absolutely stupid to send water there, because the Fed would be involved (interstate commerce or some other bullcrap), and politicians would sell the rights away for votes. We "backward rednecks" in the South would be rationing water in the flood zone, while the authoritarian elites would be filling their Olympic-sized backyard swimming pools out in Hollywood.

Our local water reservoirs have been at 90-100% for a few years now. They use several factors to calculate the drought index, including soil moisture, precipitation, etc. It's supposedly a more complete picture than just measuring rainfall, but it sometimes doesn't make sense when compared to current conditions. |

Just out there last weekend, lake's pretty low, what they don't tell you is Powell hasn't released what they have been holding back. After the melt lake levels will come back up a little. My pools still full though all that matters the heats almost here.

I don't think we'll ever see Mead completely full ever again. But the rains will return back to California, and probably with a vengeance, but no one will learn anything from the drought.

You keep your grubby cheese hooks off Lake Michigan, it belongs to us. No worries, just like the pump it to Ca. BS won't happen. The enviro NAZIs up here by us have done an arguably good/bad thing. http://www.greatlakes.org/compact We have a town that should be part of Milwaukee, geographically it is, sans the fact its on the wrong side of the water shed (drains in theory to the Mississippi) and has lots of groundwater. They won't even let them tap into it. (of course Nestle is on the Mi. side bottling their asses off.) In short if it doesn't go back into the Great Lakes, it doesn't come out of the Great Lakes. (unless you are Nestle. )

Think of it in terms of refilling auqafiers, retained moisture in the ground, etc. Lots of rainfall just runs off into the rivers and lakes instead of soaking into the ground. I know this isn't the correct terminology, but if the ground can't absorb the water, quickly enough, the moisture that is in the soil will dry up quicker. |

I asked her... what happens if we take out the dams to the already depleted aquifers? don't the bodies of water created by the dams help refill them? Her face went puzzled, she had never considered it.
