No matter what the cause or your stance on climate, the water is already gone, and this needs to be fixed.
Good explanations on water, rights, distribution etc.

@ucantstop_me I’ve believed for years, and have said so hundreds of times, that all our next wars will be fought over water.
When the Colorado runs dry, where do those who take water from that river go? What do they do?
They want water from our Great Lakes:

Out West, aquifers have been drained for agriculture, never to be replenished.
It’s truly dire and my fear remains that nothing meaningful happens.
I don’t understand why people just don’t get it??!!
@BB160_ no one is draining our lakes.. signed michigan.
But I know they are trying to. Canada will have a say about that too.
We(the country) need the southwest to feed the country. Huge economic &human suffering impact.
Some tough decisions need to be made. I'm hoping California can agree on restrictions as a band-aid.
The bandaid just to keep it going Deadpool, which is when they can no long generate hydro electricity for the region.
I don't believe enough people understand this. 💧
