Beware, thirsty metropolitan areas may be coming for your water.
Most ignore, many complain and few are doing anything about the fact that Las Vegans, many of them tourists in a city of illusion, use 219 gallons of water a day versus 49 gallons a day in San Francisco, also a key tourist destination.
San Francisco reduced water usage on a community awareness voluntary basis, with private enterprise providing solutions like shower restrictors and people flushing according to this mantra:
"If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down."
For further edification and entertainment, we present this along with clever reader responses ~
Las Vegas Is "Screwed"; The Water Situation "Is As Bad As You Can Imagine"
After a devastating, 14-year drought drained the reservoir that supplies 90% of the city’s water, the apparently endless supply of water is an illusion as Las Vegas population has soared.
As Barnett ominously concludes, "unless it can find a way to get more water from somewhere, Las Vegas is out of business.
Yet they’re still building, which is stupid."
As The Telegraph reports, as with many things in Sin City, the apparently endless supply of water is an illusion.
Things are not good...America’s most decadent destination has been engaged in a potentially catastrophic gamble with nature and now, 14 years into a devastating drought, it is on the verge of losing it all.
“The situation is as bad as you can imagine,” said Tim Barnett, a climate scientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “It’s just going to be screwed. And relatively quickly. Unless it can find a way to get more water from somewhere Las Vegas is out of business. Yet they’re still building, which is stupid.”
Las Vegas gets just four inches of rain in a good year, and in the first four months of 2014 there was just 0.31 of an inch.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority, which has the task of keeping the city from running dry, has described the effects of the drought as “every bit as serious as a Hurricane Katrina or a Superstorm Sandy”.
,,,
However, Las Vegas still uses 219 gallons of water per person per day, one of the highest figures in the US.
In San Francisco the figure is just 49 gallons.But they have a plan...
Lake Mead’s water level is currently at 1,087ft above sea level. There are two pipes, known as “straws”, that take water from it to Las Vegas.
The first extracts water at an elevation of 1,050ft and is likely to be sucking at air, rather than water, soon.
The second straw is at 1,000ft.
Lake Mead is expected to fall another 20ft towards that critical point by the end of this year.
Beneath the ground a mammoth effort is already under way to complete a new, lower straw which will be able to draw the last of the water from the lake.
But it is a painfully slow process as a giant drill the size of two football pitches advances at a rate of one inch per day.
That rescue project is costing $817 million and is currently expected to be complete by late 2015, but it is not viewed as a long-term solution.
Las Vegas also wants to build a separate $15.5 billion pipeline that would pump 27 billion gallons of groundwater a year from an aquifer 260 miles away in rural Nevada.
But a judge has refused permission after environmentalists sued on the basis that it would adversely affect 5,500 acres of meadows, 33 miles of trout streams, and 130,000 acres of habitat used by sage grouse, mule deer, elk and pronghorn, an antelope-like creature that is endangered in the region.
The court heard that 25 species of Great Basin springsnails would be pushed toward extinction.But in the end, it's a false promise...
“It’s a really dumb-headed proposition. It would provide a false sense of security that there’s plenty of water and it would delay the inevitable decisions that have to be taken about water conservation and restricting growth.
“The drought is like a slow spreading cancer across the desert.
It’s not like a tornado or a tsunami, bang. The effects are playing out over decades.
And as the water situation becomes more dire we are going to start having to talk about the removal of people (from Las Vegas).”And then there's this...
Mr Mrowka cited Lake Las Vegas, a mega-resort where stars including Celine Dion live, as one of the “most egregious examples” of wasting water.
One proposal is for landlocked Nevada to pay billions of dollars to build solar-powered desalination plants in the Pacific off Mexico, taking Mexico’s share of Colorado River water in exchange.
But Mr Mrowka said: “The Colorado is essentially a dying river.
Ultimately, Las Vegas and our civilisation in the American South West is going to disappear, like the Indians did before us.”
The bottom line - get there now, watch the fountains, drink the water, swim in the lake... (and sell your house)

Tokyo might have them both beat.
It's been confirmed that the aquafers supplying greater Tokyo are already contaminated with measurable radioactive particles from the Fukushima meltdowns (and the contamination will only increase from here on out).
Some of these radioactive particles, no matter how small they are, will kill you if you injest them. It may not take an hour, a day, a week or even a month but they will eventually get you.

They may have already done this, in that it may still be legal to test (I think) but it is now illegal to report that test.

Well, my area of the Midwest is
absolutely saturated.
Some spots were getting 4 inches of rain/hour for a
while with the two systems that passed through yesterday.
I get to welcome freaking July in here with a torrid global warming 65 degrees F this morning.
All this after the global warming deep freeze
winter that whacked the economy in Q1 and still sees some ice in the
northernmost of the Great Lakes.
I think I will go out for a run and generate a little excess CO2.
And oh, BTW, I have been in and out of
Vegas well over a couple hundred times on business in the last 20 years
or so.
It was a great place in the mid- 90’s and I considered moving
there then. I am certainly glad I did not.
If the greedy bozo’s that
“planned” and ruined Clark County had any clue about the limits of
expansion and growth in a resource constrained environment, they would
not be in this sad shape right now.

Libertarians would argue that the free market solves everything.
Wait: the problems of the next generation? Have no price...
[Everything has a price]
If there were a free market, then the populations would go where the market can best support them.
Not where social engineering has led them.
Populations would be smaller if people were responsible for their own actions and not socially engineered to become parasites and to produce more parasites.
Sound currency would help too instead of this debt based collapsing ponzi scheme system.

Yes, some cultures are vastly superior.
A few years back the USGS forecast a 50% chance that Lake Mead would be dry by 2017?
Also, a long-term study of tree rings has scientists thinking perhaps the last 100 years was a "wet" period in the last 900 years and maybe things are returning to a little more "normal"
A really good read is: "Beyond The 100 Meridian" it is a biography of John Wesley Powells career.
... you think there are a lot of claims on gold, read the water laws and claims on the water out west.
Different laws effect water allocation at various water levels for the reservoir.
I think things really start to get interesting under 1050 ft...

We also sold our house last July and left Texas.
Lived there all my life. It was nice until the population quadrupled.
Don't know if we will stick where we are, but there is plenty of water and a lot less people.
It has been draining (falling) since the early 1980's, slowly and steadily.
Greater Vegas is overpopulated, and has been getting more so every year.
Absent pumped water, the area's natural carrying capacity is about 400 people.

The Colorado River is a major source of supply for cities in San Diego County as well as the Imperial County towns of Calexico and El Centro.
http://www.water-ed.org/watersources/region.asp?rid=10
San Diego has existed since 1769.
The San Diego River ran through it and Father Junerpio Serra established Mission Dam to provide water for agriculture.
Now as for San Diego County having 2 Million people??? That is about 1.5 Million too many.
El Centro-Brawley-Calexico is PRIME FARMLAND.
The small population there is basically Agriculture workers and farm owners.
The Colorado River...before the dams were built...used to flood 50 Miles wide through the Imperial Valley depositing fertile silt.
After the construction of the dams the Imperial Valley was stable enough to have productive farming of FOOD...you know?
Stuff you may eat like vegetables? Dairy Products?
Populations in the Imperial Valley are sustainable at present levels. (Who would want to live in that hot and humid valley?) However, due to the drought, vegetable, dairy and cotton production will be cut as the stipends for Colorado River water have been restricted by the Queen of America.
I know. I lived there during that time.
What is Lake Pleasant looking like these days?
That is from the snowmelt runoff of the Bradshaws to the North of the Valley.
The Salt River gets its water from the snowmelt runoff from the Mogollion Rim (Payson-Lakeside-Pinetop) to the east of the Valley.
It is not that there is a lack of water but that there are too many people for the area who are competing for the resource.
Towns are built by Rivers for a reason.
Even though the Salt River may appear "dry" there is a lot of underground water flowing through it.

Nobody cared about the place so the mob moved in and built it into a gambling haven.
With Batista losing Cuba and the dream of a Caribbean heaven gone, Vegas became the mob's dream city instead of Havana.
"Cadillac Desert" written in the 80's is one of the best summaries of how the US has screwed up water resources and misallocated the little that's there.
You can't push for endless development using a resource that's simply not there.
We've built dam after dam that killed off good productive land while doing nothing to expand water supplies (standing water evaporates faster).
Overuse of irrigation poisons land by bringing up salt levels - that white 'bathtub ring' you see around dammed lakes in the west are SALT deposits.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Desert
And on top of not having water, Vegas will be short of electricity - no water to drive turbines, no electric power.
Add to that the increased costs of GETTING TO Vegas - drive or fly - and a population with fewer and fewer 'extra' dollars to lose and Vegas is dead (the real whales from Asia go to Macao and the Arabs go to London).
Vegas also has a horrible gang problem (shhhh... you're not supposed to talk about THAT) and with insane zoning - or lack therof - you have gated communities next to trailer parks.
No 'good' neighborhoods or schools anywhere in the city - all are a nice 'mix'. [Summerlin]
Vegas is everything you could do wrong with a city - on steroids.

I can also show you some 'adjusted figures' for unemployment, job creation, inflation, labor force participation, etc. yet are all published by the top economists money can buy.
It's the consensus, the data is settled, we are in a glorious recovery.
GDP is going to shoot through the moon next quarter, just like all those little pacific island nations are going to be underwater a few years from now.
My point in all this is that the main reason I don't believe any of that shit is that it comes from the same type of people and govt scientists that all that nonsense above comes from.
All this global warming shit is for is to institute a 'carbon tax' on CO2 emissions.
Which is pretty much all commerce, a global tax on fucking everything.
What it will do is wipe out what is left of the middle class in all of the western world.
The tax is the main goal, wealth extraction.
Global warming, sorry, 'climate change' is just the message win used to dupe people into accepting it, and you are falling for it like a good little serf
He's a "professional" climate propagandist.

Or do you just want to reinforce the idea that you are a paranoid whackadoo?
BTW, your rich sociopaths took care of the middle class...

Re-read my comment and try again.
Not sure where you have read anything paranoid from me. GDP has a whole lot to do with it.
The lack of growth.
Commerce is grinding to a halt.
But, all you here from every govt is how the recovery is right around the corner, any day now, of course they have data from all the top economics 'scientists' to back up their claims.
Which are bullshit, same as almost everything else.
So if you broadly reject most claims that come from these people, as I do, it makes no sense to blindly assume the climate 'scientists' they trot out to feed you your dose of bullshit are somehow more trustworthy than the Keynesian debt hustlers trotted out to tell me the key to fixing the economy is taking on moar debt.
And I also don't see how you can't seem to accept that these 'rich sociopaths' (how are they mine, exactly?) aren't the same ones pushing this climate change narrative.

And you keep focusing about other economic nonsense when the debate is clearly about nothing to do with that...
And ZH keeps showing data that clearly indicates that the middle class started slipping in the 80s along with debt rocketing while the 1% lined their pockets...
Are you that fucking blind? Or are you incapable of studying a graph and identifying trends and inflection points...

By the way here is global data before and after adjustments
"Comparison of global temperatures from raw and adjusted Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) v3 data, created by Zeke Hausfather."
