Farming is so dumb. Growing food is for weak people.

Eating is overrated. Let's just move on to powdered protein and peanut butter dispensed from toothpaste tubes.

And yet we need more golf courses here. I hate how popular the sport has become.

I mostly hate how many people keep moving here.

California will have to Desal faster than anyone anticipated. They’re already

Yeah! let’s start hauling away glaciers! Nothing bad could come from that!

Is it true there is an underground aquifer near Phoenix where much of the city

I heard from someone that Phoenix has like 100+ years of groundwater

Every development in PHX for the last 40 years has had to have drainage

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Seems they don’t rely too much on groundwater

That’s impressive they’re miles ahead of California in drought preparation.

And Utah. I do wonder, however, how long Phoenix’s approach is sustainable. What

Theoretically yes the city could literally dry up and blow away

The Wasatch Front in Utah doesn’t have the same water problem Phoenix does

BlooCoog

See what the AZ residents have to say. Seems UT has the bigger problem

I don't think this is correct. Phoenix is not at risk at all and has never had

Phoenix has no water issues surprisingly due to the Salt River Project

Thrill

The runoff from the White Mountains (Salt River) and the San Francisco Peaks (Verde River) basically supply the valley

Uhhh..: don’t mess with golf. Make California use desalination for their water

This isn’t just a California issue.

Wouldn’t be sure if CA was willing to loosen regulations

Watering grass doesn't destroy water.

I thought more of them used the treated gray water than this. Too bad
