Water wars heating up in Arizona - if you live in a desert, you're in trouble

Back in 1998 - 99, my ex who owns an 8acr. property in town of Camp Verde had two Wells drilled. When I asked why 2, he said because soon permits will not be issued to drill anymore. One of the two produced about 300gals. a minute. And then had them capped. He believed that some day he would be able to retire with the money he received from selling water to the town..

I love the Desert!! But then I am a Scorpion.

You cannot get an apartment for 600 a month in Phoenix area. If you did find such a unicorn, you’d be in gangland territory with bedbugs and roaches.

Until.......?

it is not that they are running out of water, it is always the same. The issue is 60 million people moved to the southwest. To many useless drinkers now...

This is not exactly true.
I live in Peoria AZ. There is plenty of water to meet current needs and they have banked in underground storage enough water to serve the whole city for 5 years on that supply alone.
Without doing water restrictions.

Another factor is the pollution of the ground water with toxic chemicals. These can be removed and that water source used, but it is costly and all they are looking for (and talking about) is cheap water sources. So it is not really about not having any water, but about having a cheap source of water.

Most of the problems are from city councils that spent their money on other projects, rather than planning on providing water to their communities in case of an extended drought.

I adore the desert but it doesn't take an Einstein to see that all it takes is one little drought for it all to go to Hell in a bedazzled handbasket.

I think we'll stay where the rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds don't dry up to nothing but dust in the blink of an eye!

Just go to wally world and get a few cases of water. Problem solved. If you need the bathroom, go dig a cat hole in the back yard. Its not like you're growing sod.

I'm a deep skeptic about climate change.
However, I have something relevant, of current events,(aside from a tallboy can of strong beer being cheaper than pop and even bottled water), some pertinent observation which is very concerning to me, in direct relation to water shortage, and climate/habitat dysfunction.
Much went on in environment, solar, celestial combined with biological forces and human, that if you try to discern what it ought to be, with only people's doings, it's already an impossible mess that may possibly be in a rolling state of Flux or degeneration for biological habitat, and there's no telling how much and what effect we really have.
Regardless, I live in the middle of the great lakes, sw ontario. BEEN frequent outdoors 51 yes, and in brief, this is the QUINTESSENTIAL (for me), defining moment when this frog noticed the pots really getting a rolling boil on. That having a home reno job most my adult life, I can say there's "NO DEW ANYMORE". NONE. lawn Gras was always drenched all year, cause I was always a pain in the ass soaking my boots, and getting trampled walking across it.
Woke up and lived outside 1 1/2 yes. Now. There's not just little dew. It's so dry there's none at all that I've seen, and BTW I'm in city so maybe sprayed, but sleeping outside, I only got a couple skeeter stings and they disappeared weakly fast.

Raining hard every day now in so called drought stricken western Colorado. 5" so far in my rain gauge and much more on the way. Seen forest mushrooms yesterday which means another epic year. Climate change is bullshit. Quit modifying the weather and then let's talk about it.

:bateman:

My sons are somewhat placated by the fact that Vegas is steadily building, despite the dire yt vids.

Hahahahaha

know a guy drilled two dry holes

70K up in smoke

he died soon there after

couldn't take it

he was old anyway

rumor his wife was black widow

her previous two husbands died leaving her wealth

guess she didn't want number 3 drilling more dry holes

her dry hole should have been enough for him

was trying to get water for animal sanctuary

oh well

that's a deep subject

little Haha for you

we have desert artisan well

not telling where

vote left you smell like ass

Hahahahaha

Dry Humor is like water in the Desert. Some get it, some don't. :)

Hahahahaha

they know some shit

more water in earths crust than in all the oceans

true

look it up if you don't believe

they lie to you

water shortage bs

they want you gone before they unlock all that water

they don't do stuff that's good for people

only do stuff that's bad

make a list of what they do and see for yourself

vote left you have butt breath

Hahahahaha

I mentioned in another thread that I've been watching the globalists/deep state try to clear the West coast for 12 years. They want the oil in the Rockies, they already have a 25mile underground base in Colorado, they have plenty of tunnels to scurry about and traffic children, they have nevada underground complex (area 51 type stuff), many MIL bases setup, shipping ports, Hawaii, Midway, etc etc.

People need to get their war paint out.

Denver is farther from the Pacific Ocean than St. Louis is from the Atlantic.

They've got two problems - distance and elevation to pump the water up. That's also why the Great Lakes isn't a great option because of both distance and the height to reach the west coast, which is fortunate since otherwise they'd already be draining them.

California can't possibly build desalinization plants for their water supply because tiny guppie smelt fish might get sucked into the intake lines.

Save the guppies.

What kind of fucking idiot would live in any of those states they are deserts its hot and no water yall got played by the gov

:^this:

Just drive a Prius to the store and buy a bottle of water.
Solved.
:chill:

:derp2:

Its all rigged

there are several ways to get enough water to drink from even a desert but shower, laundry, water the garden and wash the car? not so much

Yeah, I get it.

I love the desert. I love the native plants: The cane cholla, the chaparral trees, the prickly pear, white thorn acacia, Yucca, Palo Verde trees, Mesquite trees, the Cottonwood. All cactus flowers.

I love the animals, the squirrel, the chipmunk, the Javelina, bobcats, mountain lions. Rats, mule dear, jack rabbits, cottontails, Turkey Vultures, The Quail, the Redtail Hawks, the Horn toads, the snakes, but NOT the scorpions. !

LOL.

This world is abundant.

They control you with scarcity lies.
