People will keep breeding and immigrants will continue to flow unimpeded into the arid southwest and only a tiny piece of the population cares that we are running out of water. And while we are at it let's open a new golf course!

Interesting video. The last straw  is the All American Canal and it shunts 3.1M of California's 4.4M acre foot yearly allotment to the Imperial Valley AKA Colorado DESERT. We get to inundate our 500K acres of tillable Ancient Lake Cahuilla lakebed with about 5-6ft of water to ensure cows get their alfalfa. California's $1T economy jealously eyes Imperial Valley's $1B economy with all that water. Tom
