We're in our fifth year of drought out here in the west and you're wondering why the reservoirs are low?

A) Arizona is part of the Southwest. We have no shortage.
B) Las Vegas will continue to grow - and will supplement its water supply from a very abundant amount of water in Northern Nevada. Also, So. Nevada will be participating in the development of pipeline from the Pacific Ocean - and he desalination project - which will also help southern California.
C) So. Cal has been through this before. It is not all "doom and gloom" as you try to portray.

OK, if you say so. But when you wake up one morning and there's no water supply, you won't be able to ask anything from any other states, because you'll simply be told that you haven't got a shortage.

Our aquifers are FULL - literally
Our reservoirs are FULL - couple are overflowing and water is having to be released to bring down the levels
We have no more storage capacity -
OBTW - I'm not saying "so" - the Arizona Department of Water Resources is saying that there is no shortage.

ya but the pacific ocean is salt water that needs to be desalinated and piped.... the great lakes are fresh water and could be piped direct... in china they are building a cannal from the yangtze river to beijing some 800 miles of it.... at a cost of around 50 billion dollars and somthing on the time scale of 50 years..... so if there going to build a huge pipline and desal plant from the pacific ocean to navada they better hurry up.... the clock is ticking...

Las Vegas is a great city. One of my favourite places. Would love to live there BUT I know it is a DESERT and I am not supposed to have a green lawn there. More people there need to realize that.
