    I'm sure that's fine.

    That's good news for NoCal, but Western Slope snowpack in the Colorado watershed is probably more important to a greater part of the West.

    Absolutely. The water starts here and all of the tributaries that flow into the Colorado. So far so good this year for the snowpack. Needs to continue -- for another 10 years.

    Yup. Water wars are real. One way to start that civil war is not give California any of the water in Lake Mead. Same with power. But when the Colorado River Compact was drawn up 100 years ago, who back then would have imagined Las Vegas and Phoenix existing as they do today. Same with SoCal. It'd be like saying today that Scottsbluff will be a major metro in 50 years.

    But the southwest's wider water troubles were predicted very accurately decades ago by monkeywrenchers like Ed Abbey, and in books like 'Cadillac Desert.'

    Desalination will be enough to let populations live in the West. But you better grow a cactus garden in your lawn and play a full 18-hole sand trap in golf. Agriculture is straight out.

    I loved Edward Abbey's work, and my time in the desert is nonexistant. Hayduke 'em.

    Yeah, well, I'm not holding my breath. If there was a way to make oil company stock go up involved, then maybe.
