The Federal Government warned those states two months ago that they had 60 days to reach an agreement on sharing and cutting back on use of the Colorado River water system. No progress has been made. Several states had actually come to an agreement of sorts, but then California refused to participate on a water use reduction plan. Now the Feds are moving in and the states are looking at a possible 30% cut in water usage right out the gate. Farmers have taken the larger hit so far, but now the emphasis will be on residential cutbacks. More to read at the link. I look forward to seeing what new and innovative way the feds find to fuck this up even more than it already is... If anyone can make an already grim situation unimaginably worse and more horrific...

The fast dropping Lake Mead levels were predicted in the event of even a prolonged mild drought (It IS a fucking desert, after all), when the new pipe tunnel to Los Angeles started construction 15 years ago. But, we are all just right wing nut jobs, and all of the correct Democrats got big payoffs from the project. Now you are seeing the results. |

The gov will pay through the treasury not to use water in return for the loss they take financially. They will not comply and take the fine they will pay with the treasury proceeds. Then they will ask for more. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72953590 That includes underground (Aquifer) water. And NOBODY (even the Feds) can do anything about it ! this is about the colorado river....tex-tard In most if not all of the upper and lower basin state members of the CO River watershed it is different. A lot of the large aquifers are adjudicated. In CA there are appropriative and overlying users with different rights. If you own land, you can pump from the ground at your discretion unless the basin is adjudicated (extractions parsed out between landowners). But you can't be "appropriative", meaning pump and serve water to other users (e.g. just start your own water company without a complicated process). |
