It’s always the same story, poor planning on the part of the reclamation dept. constitutes an emergency on our part!
The real emergency is that we’re not already working on building a wall on our side of the Mississippi to keep these soon to be thirsty folks to their chosen drought destinies.
But Utah was praying for rain!
Have they tried a rain dance?
@Skankhunt36 🤔
@Randy’s Crafts historically works better than prayer.
@Skankhunt36 🤔…………👍
Mandated by who? Does Gavin Newsom still get to water his wine vineyards?
Whelll that’s different. As a matter of fact that could be why nobody is to use that water. It’s needed for a higher cause like making money for the rich.
Even mother nature is tired of this wasteful nation. Something has to change.
Hello 👋. How are you doing today
I ask myself, Why didn’t this video inspire ANY Confidence in the “Management” out there?
Close The Damn Border(!!!) …
Stop trying to feed us this garbage about climate change.. we get that we are in a drought. Maybe Colorado should turn from it’s wicked ways, repent, and then He will hear from heaven and bless this land! Pray for rain folks! God is the only one who can supply it.
People like this is why we are all fucked.
@Tobias Stevens I wouldn’t say that. But I would say that it’s because of them we are heading down the wrong path, for sure.
This is the reason you don’t build where there is no water. The earth dictates where we can sustainably love not us.
It’s always the fault of the “money savers” in the name of corporate interests….
Story says absolutely nothing about imposing mandate or who would be the authority to do so amongst several states.
With all the drought out west, California should stop producing so much bottled water, most of the bottled water sold in this country is produced in California, go figure. Check it out!
Why don’t the people running HAARP make some rain?
@Orbital Cooker from my end. YouTube isn’t showing your post. I am able to get your name and post from the notification, but when I click to see the full reply it shows that there is no comment from you. Lol
Uhhhh the farmers are supposed to do without? Where did you find that clown?
Blah, blah climate blah
Pretty sure South Park covered this story already.
Clinate change? Dont you mean weather manipulation. The arrogance of man to think we are the cause of what the earth is doing is not as arrogant as to think we could stop it.
Those farmers are growing crops to feed livestock. We literally don’t have enough water to keep eating trillions of animals a year
Planting in places that can’t support it
Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!!!
Out law non native plants. Outlaw golf course watering. Outlaw almond growing and eating.
