Is the southwestern US actually experiencing water shortages, or is that media scare-story sensationalism?

>build cities in the desert

>continues to build golf courses and waterparks
Let the morons die of thirst
...keep importing millions of hispanics and haitians...
the great lakes WILL be ours
Over my dead body. Come get it, desert boy. Maybe send more alfalfa to China while you're at it and waste the rest of your fresh water supply.
i will personally come up from the South to help Midwest bros defend their water from Cali scum. those people need to face the fact that either they send 25 million hispanics back to Mexico or they die of thirst. which one is it?
Aps just buys the board what are you gonna do have more money than them?
>Builds a concrete channel for the Los Angeles River
>Doesn't trap the water for usage
They're just morons
No its real.
If it doesnt rain more soon we are in for the most bleak future imaginable. Doesn't help that BideBlack person keeps letting in more immigrangs.
Yes we have the land for them, but we dont have the resources to take care of all of these people. Thats what liberals dont understand.
All these fricking cancerfornians flooding into Arizona are straining our water supply. Power grid seems fine though.
It does t help that immigrants dont know the law of the land and wont take care of our environment the way its supposed to.
Theyll plant non native species and plants that are not drought resistant etc.
Also ehat this Black person said
you haven't seen anything yet.
if this is like the last big drought people will be fleeing north and east, including you.
Anon is correct.
I have a friend who drives a semi and he said a few WEEKs the rain was so bad in Arizona and Cali that he though it would be swept in a mudslide.
Besides Comifornia is the only place on drought rn
So, below the reservoirs. Gotcha
>can't into topology
Well if it makes you feel better where I live has gotten a fair bit of rain in the past few weeks, much more than we've got in a few years, and the watershed does ultimately flow into the Colorado river.
Now will it be enough to make a dent in lake mead? Probably not, but those stupid fricks in vegas also thought it was a good idea to have like 50+ golf courses, and the jackoffs in commiefornia made the west coast out to be some tropical paradise, and now the colorado essentially hasn't reached the ocean for decades so all those dipshits can go lie in in their bed for all I care
I cant tell if its a real drought or government made.
there was a 700 year drought northwest America that ended right before Europeans showed up in America, so it's probably both
i live in vegas
no
they are running out of water becuas eits the fricking desert, and usage is going through the roof.
yes but not because there isnt enough water, it is instead due to almost comical levels of mismanagement and misuse for the past 100+ years
oh and west coasters were always gays, nibbas were bombing water pipe lines draining the lakes and rivers their hill and valley home steads relied on at the turn on the 19th century
/thread
they raped the land to save 5 cents on avocados - i hope they all die
Jews steal the water. not even making that up.

they got their big start with a Security company to smuggle heroin through LAX.
I sold my services as a water farmer to my city. Fix your own problems.
How were you able to afford to perform those services anon?
IT'S A FRICKING DESERT!
SW US always has water shortages. It's a pretty large desert. Why is this news?
Since israelites are "God's chosen people" they must be worth more.
Er go, if we sacrifice enough of them, God will surely reward us with rain.
Seriously though, just throw israelites in a fire every day until it rains.
The richer the better.
by August many of those states will not only not have any water left to pump but power generation will be impossible as well.
>lake Tahoe, lake Mead, and Colorado River all at lows never seen in history while the entire region is in a megadrought
idk anon probably just a meme
the Colorado hasn't even been making it to the ocean for years.
millions of morons living in a desert was always a problem, drought or no drought
california gets 40% of lake mead's water, and manages to dump all of its waste fresh water into the ocean. Las vegas gets 13% and manages to reuse 99% of it. once the water level goes down another 67 feet, California gets no more water or power from the hoover damn and lake mead.
What happened to California caring about the environment and all that garbage hmm?
You called it. "All that garbage". Bunch of fake green environmental politicians here raping and pillaging the taxpayers in the name of the environment. Everything in California is designed to steal the work of the citizens and provide it to the government. The politicians embezzle as much of that work as they can through buddy deals and whatever scams they can pull. If anyone with any actual authority to do anything ever actually looked at what is and had been going on in California I doubt a single politician or appointed government official could stay out of prison.
I will accept refugee Black folk and hispanics all day long and let them frick my daughter but I'll drop dead before I let someone from Phoenix take refuge in my city
It's very real
t. Californian
How many weeks have you lived in California, homosexual? They pull this shit every 5 years to squeeze more federal funding. There is no water shortage. This bullshit is all driven by greedy avocado and almond farmers, who rape the reservoirs to irrigate, then cum guzzling politicians claim national emergency to get Washington DC bucks.
There quite literally is a water shortage
California has cyclical weather patterns causing some clumps of years to be very wet and others to be very dry.
Past few years have been extraordinarily dry even for the dry spell standards.
I remember back in 2015 and 2016 when we were getting inundated.
Fact is, we are in a period of drought and the wet years are not enough to offset the amount of people, industry, and agriculture we have.
>2015
Black person, I’ve lived here for 45 years and they do this same shit, the exact same way, every 5 years. They squeeze the general public and fine them for watering their yards as industrial use is, by far, the culprit. 80% of the nations almonds are currently being warehoused because of profit margins. Big Ag wants federal subsidies for irrigation in California. The “water shortage” is the tail wagging the dog.
Agree. My understanding is residential water use in California is 6-8% and the rest is agricultural and industrial. Thatis only the accounted for use, does not include the trillions of gallons dumped to the ocean because muh delta smelt
Exactly. And it’s almost entirely agricultural, specifically avocados and nuts. San Diego has a desalinization plant, and central California could do the same, but big Ag farmers want cheap water, so they claim droughts every 5 years and get federal money to subsidize water with taxpayer dollars.
Yeah, the southwest is in a drought. Knew a guy who ran cattle in the mountains east of Los Angeles. Last year the pastures that he leased didn't green up at all and he had to sell quite a few head. I'm now on the upper Rio Grande in CO working for a rancher and this winter was very dry and warm. The river peaked in early May when it should do so at the end of the month or beginning of June. Our pastures didn't come up until last week when we got our first good rains the week before.
Live in the desert north of Los Angeles. For the better part of a year I see grid chemtrails over the Central Valley and Southern Sierras. Most often and heavy on Friday mornings. I rather suspect it is for weather modification, sun energy isn't making the ground and is adding energy to the atmosphere. Should be driving storms further inland. Can't say for certain but this chemtrail pattern wasn't going on when we had a rainy season a couple of years back.
they are probably desperately trying to cloud seed to bring a bit of rain
Seeding clouds requires clouds. This isn't that.
Or maybe, LAX and ONT just get a lot of air traffic?
Okay, how do we profit off the coming crisis?
I suppose there is going to be mass migration from Cali etc.. into the rest of this cursed former nation.
Perhaps investing in pods is a good idea?
Hydrologist here, everywhere except New England and Oregon are completely fricked.
Not here, we are good.
I live in Tennessee.
I can come form that it has been unusually dry this year.
No idea why.
Well clearly it is because we did not start taxing White people for driving cars and using AC in the 90s.
Current refrigerant blends don't impact the ozone and R12 and R22 have been phased out.
>and R12 and R22 have been phased out.
Not in rural China, India, Indonesia, and some country in Africa. Europe countries are the most up to date with refrigerant change, which is kinda funny when I saw "european are confused by this(central air conditioning)" thread in /misc/
Getting thise particular countries to do things properly is impossible.
Most of them are very selfish in ways that makes the US seem altruistic.
That is also where plastic in the ocean is coming from.
Pretty much. Any environmental concern that don't bring up China India and 3rd world countries are full of shit.
R12 and R22 pool on the ground. Used to have an alarm in a sunk automotive alignment pit because it could pool there and suffocate someone if there was no warning. I have never seen an adequate explanation of how a heavier than air molecule could somehow magically find it's way to the upper atmosphere and frick over ozone. I have seen in the last few years that your average moron will believe and regurgitate anything the talking image box tells them. I also discovered there are more morons than I ever wanted to believe or could comprehend.
Is that spilled refrigerant still on the ground anon? Did you ever wonder what spooky magic that makes it disappear?
Shoulda taken at least rudimentary chemistry in HS anon, jesus the world is becoming fricking ignorant.
and Ohio, everyone should move to Ohio
No. Please stay out.
luv u Ohio. Hows your river doing? Still on fire?
Hey homosexual keep that shit on the low. If you know what I mean. Dont talk about us.
Too late. Were coming.. I already talked to the family.
It rained and snowed, reservoirs were filled. Powers that be drained them to the oceans. When enough people finally realize this was deliberate and that reservoirs had 5 years of capacity drained, things will get more interesting.
ur mom's experiencing a cum shortage
>desert
hmmm why is there not much water here? I KNO lets live here. x100000000
yes and soon
>south western us
>arid plains and deserts
no shit
it's real.
Nope pools still full.
California Agriculture finally implodes.
Cut off the water.
Oh no, a drought! Oh wait, I live in Duluth lol. Sucks to be a desert gay.
Duluth is pretty. How many days until that freezes over?
Oh it is real, alright.
it is real
it isreal
it israel
Midwest transplant anon thats been living in Phoenix going on 6 years now here. They way they keep building and bringing in people you wouldnt think so. However all the lake mead news i keep hearing has been really worrying to me lately. I love the southeast valley area and would love to raise my family here but at some point they need to do something to curb people and businesses from floking out here... theres no way it can be sustained. Been hoping for a chance to buy a home for years up until recently. Now honestly feel its probably in our best interest to move out east cuz this 100% going to be a problem in the southwest in our lifetimes
bye snowbird Black person you wont be missed
Dig a fricking well.
People already live down there.
10% of water usage is human household consumption and 90% is manufacturing, infrastructure, industry and farming. this isn't about whether they can take showers or not moron. its about sustaining 80 million people with food, water, and modern life that live in a desert. there isn't large aquifers underground LA.
>settle in a fricking desert
>run out of water
it hasnt rained in parts of europe for 6 months. Thing is though extreme weather has always been on earth. Typhoons in china thousands of years ago and long summers in mideval times europe. These events caused migration but now in 2022 everyone wants to stay put where they are.
everything is just getting worse everywhere in the worst ways possible are we living trough the end times for real? may god have mucry upon us. I don't think people realize how bad things are getting
its just a return to the 1800s. population will decline. big deal. it'll actually be better. just gonna be rough getting there. but i, for one, will enjoy the chaos. this ride had to end at some point you know?
