did you know that the colorado river doesn't reach the ocean anymore, and hasn't consistently since the 60s
it all gets sucked up for irrigation and municipal water on arizona and mexico
there's just a dry delta in baja california where it once was
a similar fate has actually befallen a bunch of rivers in the southwest

Yes im aware.
It has destroyed the gulf of California ecosystem that has relied on the Colorado dumping massive amounts if fresh water.

guess we should depopulate the west and admit the eastern us is more ecologically sustainable

Fucking depressing man. We need to deport all the mexicans and just shut down any city in the desert that is not capable of existing without water from a mountain range hundreds of miles away.

Yes, I believe this was in my geography textbook 20+ years ago

Are the people that worry about resource scarcity the same people that promote unlimited immigration ?

you should look into its head waters. tons of water is shipped through the continental divide to the arkansas river where it then goes to the cities of colorado springs and pueblo

The largest single user of the Colorado river's water resources is by far California (50%+). There are 20 million people living in southern California that literally do not have a single year-round 250-1,000+ cfs (cubic feet per second water flow) river other than the Colorado river, this is a nightmarishly fucked metric. There are also 3 million Nevadans with the exact same fate (the entire state of Nevada). For comparison, Arizona has 3 such rivers plus the Colorado (4 total), along with 400 perennial streams, and over 2,000 perennial springs, and several extremely massive aquifers but even with this AZ is at parity or slightly overpopulated now as well (7.7 million people, not counting 5 million+ snowbirds in winter in Maricopa, Pinal and Pima counties alone). In general, in the USA 70-80% of all human water use is dedicated solely to agriculture, even in states that average 50 inches of annual precipitation. The southwestern USA has also been in a longterm drought since the 1990s at least, studies indicate that the longest ever drought in CA and AZ lasted 140-180 years in a row in geophysical record analysis (tree rings, sediment studies). The SW USA was also largely depopulated by native Americans during the little ice age due to severe cold and drought (cold weather usually leads to lower precipitation overall, but also less evaporation which means water lasts longer above ground). The current drought is largely attributed to conditions in the eastern Pacific ocean and Jetstream patterns, it can end or start up again at any time but usually wetter periods also last decades to centuries just like drought period do.

just deport all the mexicans and the problem is gone

Not my problem. Retards shouldn't have decided to live in a desert if they like water so much.

I'm just hoping we figure out how to properly grow beef in a lab, cattle use so much land and water, both for themselves and their feed. Though it's probably hopeless anyway, even if we do figure out lab beef agricultural America runs on cattle, would take generations to phase it out.

Divert the river upstream from Arizona and then introduce beavers a year later
