Again, you have zero defense and zero solutions. You are correct, you are more than a complete waste of my time.
Arizona town facing severe water restrictions as supply could run out by summer | FOX 10 Phoenix
Kearny, Arizona has implemented its most severe water restrictions, warning that the town of 2,000 people could officially run out of water by July.
Did the 1995 study predict this?
I offered the solution of giving incentives to people/companies to move to areas with more water and you accused me of supporting communism.
Um…you didn’t offer incentives in your initial post. You posted that later.
How about using your incentives to move growing of alfalfa to wetter regions and leave the water for the people. Alfalfa crops use 4-5 million acre feet (mostly from the Colorado river) each year. It is a water intensive crop in a dry region. The capitalist solution would be to raise water rates to balance supply and demand which would eliminate some of the marginal farming and ranching uses. Instead they keep the rates low and let the govt allocate "cheap" water based on water rights given to whomever started using it first, which includes an enormous amount for agriculture in the Imperial Valley in CA that has an average rainfall of 5 inches.
Lake Mead is getting low so cuts, probably heavily aimed at AZ, are coming but the decision criteria are the path of least resistance because no one except someone like Musk would be impartial and forward looking enough to declare the best use, so alfalfa it is.
Yes, need to look at what we can grow out here that isn’t as water intensive. Not going to be easy though. Ranchers are already struggling to feed their cattle in that part of the country. Trying to be creative, but many are deciding it’s time to sell.
