AZ and the Southwest Faces an Existential Water Crisis

2. Gotta have those GREEN lawns though!!!

When the water runs out, people will scream at their local and state governments to high heaven.

I recall on many trips to California over the years...5 minute showers. Up to 4 loads of laundry a week for a family of 4. No watering of lawns, just important plants in the later evenings. No excessive flushing of toilets. Washing of the hair separate of showers using a pitcher for wetting and rinsing.

Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California will surely dry out. While we here in the Upper Midwest where there is enough fresh water in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan to provide water and then some for the Western half of the US, and still have plenty left over. It rains in my part of the world. Happy for that.

Still, we need to conserve what we can when we can so it will be there when the hard time comes.

It has also been said that the next great War will NOT be over territory, but over Fresh Water sources and arable land for growing food crops.
