Western US States Using Up Ground Water At an Alarming Rate
sciencehabit (1205606) writes A new study shows that ground water in the Colorado basin is being depleted six times faster than surface water. The groundwater losses, which take thousands of years to be recharged naturally, point to the unsustainability of exploding population centers and water-intensive agriculture in the basin, which includes most of Arizona and parts of Colorado, California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming. Because ground water feeds many of the streams and rivers in the area, more of them will run dry.
Soon the Department of Water and Power will control all the water and have all the power.
And now all the pot farming is going to make it even worse.

That headline alarmed me!
Waterist like to pretend water is crucial for life and plant development. These are all fabrications from hydrologists who wish to keep their grant money.
Nonsense! This is nothing more than a fake liberal crisis by King Obama! Its a conspiracy to turn the country into a commie state and kill capitalism!
The solution is obviously to give corporations the power to monetize water! Only by deregulating water and allowing the free market to decide things will things be solved!
