This post from 2016 deserves a bump
I have had Issues with credit cards in Europe
Under 1,075 feet the feds can step in and force a reduction of water usage.
It just went to 1,074.51 ft recently.
Lets face it, sooner or later the whole westernmost chunk of the US is going to be fucked one way or another sooner or later
EDIT: westernmost
and chill the fuck out Toasterfuck - its a writing error...they happen

OMG the federal government is going to step in and fix everything. I am so relieved, mankind can sleep easy tonight
the billionaires that own vegas will make the government pay billions of dollars to t boone pickens and ted turner for some of the water they own
or hillary will reward the bush family for helping her get elected by paying them billions of dollars for some of the water they own in south america

I guess it's kinda interesting in a passing sort of way.
Cheap water and unlimited growth some kinda human right?
They need to choke their way back to a more reasonable presence in the middle of the fucking desert.
This reminds me of the idiots in Phoenix who used to build in old arroyo's and dry river beds. Ten years later these house get washed away. Tough shit.

Not really. Just ask the folks who built on the coast in nj but chose not to buy flood insc. We covered them. And not just for new low interest loans. No personal responsibility any longer.
It's like the Flint Michigan water crisis. I have not yet understood why this is of any interest to me.

If it's worth saving fucking pay for it. If your kid is being poisoned I don't think you have do get paperwork to cross the border into some other state. I mean not until Hillary is the target of White House shootings.
The free market, natural selection & social Darwinism are dead.

Unbelievably the Southern Nevada Water Authority (the umbrella organization that takes water from Lake Mead and supplies six or seven water agencies) forecasts that at slightly increasing usage rates Lake Mead and groundwater will supply So. NV until 2058 or until 2035 at heavier usage rates. Pages 5 & 6 here.

Southern California takes 4.4 million acre feet/year (AFY) of water from the Colorado River via canals and an aqueduct, Arizona pulls 1 million AFY from Lake Havasu via the Central AZ Project, an open canal reaching to Phoenix and Tucson. SNWA can only pull 300,000 AFY from Lake Mead. CA & AZ use their water for agriculture as well as domestic purposes. AZ grows water intensive crops like Pima cotton. Upstream from Lake Mead on the far end of the Grand Canyon and Marble Canyon is another storage lagoon called Lake Powell. Powell doesn't directly supply anything with water except the electric generators in Glen Canyon dam. Those generators mostly work in the summer during the afternoon and evening when the AC's in Phoenix are blasting. The level of Lake Powell has dropped enough to require that power be bought from the open market to supply AZ sufficiently. Lake Powell loses about 280 billion gallons of water every year through evaporation and leakage out the bottom into the sand and porous sandstone. The varying water flow through Glen Canyon dam results in a daily "tide" in the river level of Marble and Grand Canyon. Lake Powell and it's effect on the Colorado River and uses here.

and a view from LA here. http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-...429-story.html
bottom line; So. Nevada will lose 13,000 AFY if Lake Mead drops much lower, the Colorado River makes life possible for about 40 million people not just Vegas and supplies a lot of our vegetables and nuts, dams in the west are being removed and Lake Powell could be drained, fifteen years of drought show no sign of ending, southern Nevada and Arizona should follow California in trying harder to conserve, the Colorado River is divided up according to an agreement signed in 1922 between 7 states and Mexico later
“I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no God. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization that there probably is no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that, I am extremely grateful.”

I don't know, but I hope vegas sold his boat. than again how will bottomset troll him?
Saw Druff's post about the San Bernadino Fire.
I also saw some news about Lake Mead at record lows. Global warming is one thing but uncontrolled growth is another.
Vegas just continues to build like there is no tomorrow. Demand exceeds supply and that hasn't changed for years.
Cali depends on that supply too. A little controlled burning and looting is healthy.
The power output of Hoover Damn depends on Lake Mead. I heard some conversation that there is a level that is approaching quickly where power cannot be generated.
That is gold.
Vegas DD in 2025?
No watermelon for Druff?
I think about this today cause I just got fined at work for irrigating the lawn. I know my own customers ratted me out.
I am tap dancing with town about filling pools.
Our drought is a passing thing in Northeast. Good luck out there.
