Somebody needs to convince US
I wish them the best of luck with that, they're gonna need it.
I've been reading about all that, Central Valley is gonna wash away but until that happens water's gonna be a bit um, scarce. Upper basin of the Colorado might be relatively okay but y'all further downstream are in for a bad time. Makes me think of Mesa Verde and how it came to be abandoned, I wonder how the this drought measures up to that one. Bets on how long it takes for the fighting over 'water rights' to start?
That's just infuriating, it don't take that much extra effort to clean up after yourself. Here it all ends up in the rivers when it floods and then you have a floating parade of trash. As kids we'd go shoot at it with .22s.
The fight over water rights has already begun. The Colorado Compact expires anyway in 2024 and with the low water? It's going to be nasty, I fear.
Yeah, I knew the legal wrangling had already begun, I was more wondering when the gunfire starts. There's a case to be made that the Syrian and Libyan civil wars are the first of the new water wars, I don't think it'd take too much for us to find ourselves in a similar situation.
