re: #214 Eclectic Cyborg
The Colorado River compact was originally signed back when river flows were much higher than they are now. Now, we’re in a much drier period and there’s less water to go around to more people/uses.
Something’s going to have to give, and it’s going to be the lifestyle of people who’ve chosen to live in a semi-desert to desert climate. To say nothing of the folks in agriculture who’ve basically taken all the water they can from the river, and stressed the aquifers too.
It’s not going to be pretty.
