Lots of misinformed drivel here. You can cite some "expert" to support any stupid opinion, Fox's being the most stupid of all time, but you can't change what SKB and KY Jon are saying There's less water in the west and there's more demand for it. That's a prescription for disaster, and the disaster is unfolding now. For years, I've marveled at the contadictory views here. Everybody complaining about fewer birds but very few to admit that habitat destruction, manmade, is the cause. So-called conservative opinion has held back actions that could mitigate climate and habitat deterioration until it's an open question whether we can avoid a global meltdown.We need to see that there's more at stake here than smaller government and lower taxes. Stupidity is not ignorance; it is not a lack of education. It is a denial of reality, and it is fueled by propaganda designed to close down reason and logic and cement its audience to their tribal allies at all cost. It's a tragic effort, and it's having a lot of effect. PS: more than 120 years ago, John Westley Powell reported that water scarcity in the SW meant that widesread development there was ill-advised. That didn't hinder the railroads and the speculating developers from proceeding at full speed. Our chickens have come home to roost. Still we cut and drill as if there's no tomorrow. It may well be so.
