Communities in multiple states could face federally mandated water cuts because the Colorado River is so low. It would affect Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico Prices for groceries will increase due to this, “Nearly half of the country's vegetables and most fruits and nuts come from California, and they... rely on water from the Colorado River. So food prices could go up if they don't sort this out” Lake Mead and Lake Powell are the 2 largest reservoirs in the US and have fallen to their lowest combined storage levels on record: - Lake Powell is around 23% full - Lake Mead is around 27% full Agriculture already uses as much as 80% of the water from the Colorado rivershow more

We have a super El Niño this year. Wait until winter. Also…. California has never completed the system of canals that would bring excess water from northern California; instead, that rain and snow melt is dumped in the Pacific. This drought is being deliberately exacerbated.

Climate change? The fuk? *Mismanagement. *Over population 25 million illegals putting strain on infrastructure & resources is evident in inflation, supply/demand.

Good thing the environmentalists and California fought against a desalination plant so that they can be dry in solidarity with Arizona, Colorado and NM as well

Newsom has been dumping fresh water into the ocean for YEARS - millions of gallons - because Communism. Martial Law needs to be declared in this Country for about four years - it will take that long for all the military tribunals. Ship Newsom and every other treasonous MFer working to destroy the Country to an El Salvadoran prison.

Plenty of blame to go around, but California gets the prize for mismanagement of water resources. Along with everything else in their mismanagement enterprise. The clown voters who stick with Gavin Newsom and loser-in-chief Mayor Karen Bass need to feel the brunt first.

Who will not suffer - Resnicks’ Wonderful Company farms who created a private water company and hold 57% of the water rights that serve local farms and the Bakersfield area.

Desalinization is inexpensive and easy. California just needs to scale up their water production.

But my HOA is giving me fines because my grass is not green and need to be watered

There is a huge amount of water off the West coast of California that LADWP could be using if they actually had technology to take the salt out. Oh wait, Mexico does it already.

So the government seeds clouds to create rainfall while at the same time blocks the sun to save us from global warming, but actually starves the plants and us of sunlight… another government project gone astray. Or maybe as planned, I don’t know anymore.

All geoengineered but the climate change believers would rather not accept reality….

IMPORT THE 3RD WORLD and BECOME THE THIRD WORLD. Why is it that water and electricity are close to being rationed in 2026, but in 1940 everything was good? "Leaders" trying to get "green cash" lied and did not build capacity. See Wes Moore.

Why is nobody reporting WHERE the water IS and who is holding it captive.

It takes over ten gallons of water to make one gallon of ethanol, and less than two gallons of water to make one gallon of gas. Also, DATA CENTERS!!! But let's just blame it on something else, the ol' standby: GLOBAL CLIMATE CATACLYSM!!

So, build some more data centers! That’s the government’s solution!

Uhm... use cloud seeding tech to MAKE rain instead of microwaving the ionosphere to create drought. You're welcome.

Funny, how it never affects Mexico (they get water guaranteed).....only the US.

Well, find a way to fix it other than the GREEN scam. Mother nature is a powerful force change.

🔥And just imagine the Stratos data center putting out the equivalent heat of 23 atom bombs per day! All this nonsense about a closed water-loop facility will be nothing but hot air.😤 #Utah #UT #UTPOL #LDS #DataCenter

You have to ask yourself why half of our vegetables are grown in a desert that requires water from a thousand miles away? Mabey instead of growing ethanol in Iowa they should grow veggies and we can just use plain old oil to power stuff not corn.

And California dumps water into the Pacific deliberately.

CA should’ve been installed desalination plants for decades, they have water.

Why don't the weather "makers" make it rain and fill the reservoirs instead of wiping out entire communities in the Eastern United States with their hocus pocus? Could the water shortage in the Western US be by design? 🤔

The lying democrats will blame Trump's policies then turn right around and continue the destruction of AZ, CO and NM.

Get everyone that's deportable out the country and the need for water will drastically drop.

I wonder if it has to do with anything. I think they're called data centers and another guy named Bill Gates buying up aquifers all around the nation?

One way to mitigate the water problem is to stop growing alfalfa that siphons water from the Colorado river. The Saudis lease around 15,000 acres. Let them grow in their own lands. Alfalfa farming is a major factor in the Colorado River water shortage. Agriculture overall accounts for roughly 70–80% of the water consumed from the Colorado River system. Within that, alfalfa (and other hay/forage crops grown mainly as feed for beef and dairy cattle) stands out as one of the single largest uses. A 2024 study published in Communications Earth & Environment found that alfalfa and other cattle-feed crops consume about 46% of the water diverted from the river (nearly two-thirds of agricultural use). Alfalfa alone accounts for more than 5 million acre-feet per year around 26% of all water consumed across the entire basin. That exceeds the combined use of all cities and industries in the Colorado River Basin. Alfalfa is highly water-intensive. Major growing areas, such as California’s Imperial Valley (which holds some of the largest and most senior water rights on the river), rely heavily on Colorado River deliveries for irrigation. Because so much of the crop goes to livestock feed rather than direct human food, discussions about easing reservoir declines and avoiding deeper cuts often focus on voluntary reductions, deficit irrigation, crop switching, or temporary fallowing of alfalfa fields. In short, while historical over allocation, and urban growth all contribute to the current low levels in Lake Mead and Lake Powell, the scale of alfalfa production is a significant and well-documented part of the demand side of the shortage.

Years ago Israel offered to share water conservation technology with California to solve all their water issues. Of course they declined They don't want to eliminate the water issues

Look at Owens (dry) Lake in California, Crystal Geyser has a bottling plant on the dry lake bed, Los Angeles stole that lake in 1913, and still sucking it dry everyway to Sunday, shipping our rivers and lakes worldwide, then acting like vanishing reservoirs are a mystery.

Isn’t data centers using that water too? Yes

@FaithandPolity Sounds like California-style water mismanagement.

Yet another example of a problem known for many decades, yet no real effort was ever made to address, or even mitigate it. In the meantime development of the areas dependant on the Colorado continued unabated.

Maybe built a few dozen more data centers in Colorado. I mean the Orange Pedo said we should embrace them and stop fighting against them. I mean who needs food. Just eat what the Lunatic Bill Gates creates in a lab!! 😖😖

Time to use atomic energy to desalinate and be done with scarcity of fresh water.

Always blame climate change as an absolute. Never mind that the states and Mexico are finally asking for the water they were promised, population change maybe? Climate change🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
