What are we going to do once all the water is gone? Thanks to the worst drought in more than 1,000 years, the western third of the country is facing the greatest water crisis that the United States has ever seen. Lake Mead is now the lowest that it has ever been since the Hoover Dam was finished in the 1930s, mandatory water restrictions have already been implemented in the state of California, and there are already widespread reports of people stealing water in some of the worst hit areas. But this is just the beginning. Right now, in a desperate attempt to maintain somewhat “normal” levels of activity, water is being pumped out of the ground in the western half of the nation at an absolutely staggering pace. Once that irreplaceable groundwater is gone, that is when the real crisis will begin. If this multi-year drought stretches on and becomes the “megadrought” that a lot of scientists are now warning about, life as we know it in much of the country is going to be fundamentally transformed and millions of Americans may be forced to find somewhere else to live.
Simply put, this is not a normal drought. What the western half of the nation is experiencing right now is highly unusual. In fact, scientists tell us that California has not seen anything quite like this in at least 1,200 years…
Nestle and fracking continue unabated. Water is a human right; corporations are not. Governor
Brown continues to invite all the immigrants who want to come to California, to come. Coalitions
have been trying to get Nestle shut down to no avail. Nestle is draining up to 80 million gallons of water a year from Sacramento aquifers during the drought. Something about this stinks.
some say that much of this is a man made problem….and most are NOT
immigrants but millions of illegal aliens who have invaded California
It is indeed man-made, just picture how many “undocumented workers” it takes to water the lawns and wash the cars of rich Socialists from Bel-Air to Brentwood in just LA alone. Then you have the pot growers stealing every drop of water they can find. Its a Socialist utopia….uh, I mean nightmare. http://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/Pot-Farmers-Steal-Water-Amid-Epic-Drought-281822141.htmlhttp://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/Pot-Farmers-Steal-Water-Amid-Epic-Drought-281822141.html
