the person quoted in the article said that the water pipeline would be built in time if "it was God's will' If God can determine the construction schedule for a pipeline, why not also read his will into the fact that all the water is gone from the local area?

Get used to this, by the way, more and more western towns are going to end up having to ship water in over the next 20 years, it's not only large cities (like LA) that will need water imported. We are using more water in much of the West than is entering the system, maybe if the people in the town didn't have lawns to water, or swimming pools to fill, they wouldn't have exhausted their supply and need to go elsewhere? And what happens when the aquifer at teh next town over is depleted? and the next one? Ever wonder why the Colorado River doesn't reach the ocean any more? and retreats by close to a kilometer a year further inland? We all have to make choices, and maybe living in a place that doesn't have any water isn't the best choice?
