I live in Las Vegas and I can tell you that although there has been some effort towards conservation, the primary focus of our water district is to build a huge pipeline and steal it from the farmers up north. We could conserve so much water here if we would implement grey water reuse. There is big, big money involved in stealing it though.

Don't hold us up as a bastion of virtue for water conservation.

Been there this year. Much admired the LACK of green in the middle of desert country. So many places decorated their yards with desert shrubs. As I walked streets I thought "this says rationality to me". Just looked at a picture of Palm Springs. Somewhere way short of 10 inches of rainfall annually. Yet grass and water everywhere. How they gonna continue that when the water becomes scarce?
