…and Utah, Nevada and Arizona are in similar spots. Last year Oklahoma and Texas met in the Supreme Court over acceptability to drinking water.
Yet, last time I drove through the great bassin desert, where there’s 5% humidity, if it rains it’ll evaporate before it hits the ground, and in July/August the temperature doesn’t drop below 90 degrees. At night. Yet in some town they still build a fucking golf course!
I didn’t understand that at all, but maybe that’s me…
