America’s second largest reservoir — Lake Powell — is disappearing

[orogenicman]

15 years of ongoing drought will do that, but what is worse, it shows how dumb it is to build cities in deserts.

America s second largest reservoir Lake Powell is disappearing

As water levels plummet to 45% (of capacity) in America’s second-largest reservoir, new islands appear – and fears grow for a waterway that serves 40 million people.

Keep on demanding more and more water release for the delta smelt... so that water can be wasted in the ocean too.

Give back the water to the farmers and retain it for our needs.

This is what happens when liberals are in charge. Poor decisions which affect millions..

Right. Because no conservatives had any part in any decision making ever in the west.

And its going to get a lot worse.

If you want to see the difference between right and left desert towns, just visit Phoenix and Tucson.

Phoenix, 1%ers, Big Business and green from one end to the other.

Tucson, liberal, working class, university, xeriscape, no lawns.

Sure, there are wealthy in Tucson, a lot of movie stars have homes there and there are golf courses. But, its nothing at all like Phoenix. People who live in Tucson don't have the allergies or rate of asthma that Phoenix does either. Tucson is kpretty much a big small town.

Delta smelt? In the Colorado River? Booby, you are approaching senility in your adolescence.

Some RW dummy here wrote that California is purposely running their water off into the ocean. Where do you lunkheads get this stuff?

 

[william the wie]

This is a self-correcting problem. As CA becomes more of a zoo people will leave and less water will drawn from the reservoir.

Our far right flat head conservatives in Utah get much wrong.

However, on water, they generally, after being slapped by reality a couple of times, get things right. With the pipeline to St. George from Powell, and the Bear River drainage protected against encroachment by Nevada and California, Utah is making good strides.

Some issues remain: (1) water restrictions in city and residential use need to be created, encouraging the native habitat look for out door yards and gardens; (2) better agricultural usage - i.e., alfalfa crops take up 50% of the available water for agricultural industries, etc.

But compared to other western states, Utah is in the forefront.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm................................ Care to show me where California is using Lake Powell water?

Yep... Liberal foolishness...

While the Obama Administration and the Pelosi Congress have done little to help the plight of San Joaquin Valley farmers, Republican Members of the Subcommittee vowed to take action to address the regulations that have caused this man-made drought. I especially love this comment, about “Dustbowl Democrats”:

Some left wing fools are claiming that Barbara Boxer and company are not trying to protect a worm, which can be transplanted and thrives anywhere. While depriving NON-Liberals, republican buisness people and others who own farms of an income. The water has been redirected from the farms to the delta smelt and dams up rivers have been forced to drain to provide water levels for the delta smelt to live in.

“There is no time to waste on reversing the plight of the San Joaquin Valley. The deliberate diversions by the federal government of over 200 billion gallons of water away from the breadbasket of America cost tens of thousands of farm workers their jobs, inflicted up to 40 percent unemployment rates in the region, fallowed more than 150,000 acres of the most fertile farmland in our nation, and forced up the price of groceries across the country. The facts we gather from this hearing will be instrumental as we begin the process to rescind government policies at the root of the San Joaquin Valley’s misery.” – Water and Power Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock (CA-04).

Cant have liberals exposed for the foolish crap they do, now can we...

Obama's signature is under the demand to release waters.. But you knew that too.

The water problems in the San Joaquin Valley was caused not by a lack of irrigation water or by efforts to save native endangered species, but the fact that it is a friggin desert. To say nothing of the fact that those same farmers that are complaining are the same ones who sucked the aquifer there dry.

Because, if you'd bother to read some of the posts - with links - you'd have read where water was released in order to let some small group of fishies to return to the sea.
