Back pumping so all water us reused.
Back pump up river add more reservoirs water in ten ft diameter pipes pumped back up added Canals.
Water constantly recycling and less dumping into ocean.
Using the same hydrodynamic pumps.
the reporter asked all the wrong questions about the salton Sea. he never asked about the toxins found in the dust and affecting the locals’ health. F tier reporting.
Pump water in.
What about the saudis growing Alfalfa and sending it home. What about that water
Thanks the gods for our migrant workers for being the hard labor force that collects most of our produce. The government needs to add more protections and incentives, honestly if they do the work they aught to be Americanized and celebrated. Its hard work and almost nobody else will do the labor….not for the price of keeping the costs down.
End revolution is coming
Use Back the flood water. Why so difficult?
Obviously, because the water originates in Colorado. Then flows south into the desert.
This is the same problem of wastefulness, that caused the Aral Sea to dry up.
70% of all this water is used for Agriculture.
Just saying.
Water overflowing an they charge us 6times more

Fire these fools and hire Elon Musk to bore straws from the mouth of the Colorado river to water that’s east of the Rocky Mountains. #PreyingOnSundayWatering #RepublicansDidThis
Solution? Without millions of miles of pipe, every city and town would be dry. Build more pipes, stupid, yesterday!
Pronto!
