If we really wanted to have a long term impact we could keyline the marginal areas of the desert SW. Run swales on contour and create reservoirs wherever it's practical to do so and plant pioneer species in the spoil to shade the ground and cover the soil. Given enough time we could significantly increase the reliability of rainfall not only in the SW but across the midwest and the continent and increase our total arable and agricultural land.
China and Africa have been working on desert terraforming projects for decades already. In the near term demand is going to have to be reduced for water from Mead if trends hold. |

A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. |

A serious society would have a number of massive nuclear powered desalination plants running on the coast of California. As well as a number of pipeline and reservoir projects all over the west. Unfortunately, we don't seem to be a serious society anymore.

I have pictures of the intake towers from 2011 and the difference in the water level to today is quite alarming. No idea what the solution is, whatever it is probably makes sense and so nobody will implement it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Stop building giant cities, suburbs, and golf courses in the desert? Hurrrrrrrrr durrrrrrrr Las Vegas is actually adjacent a massive water source, with more than enough water to satisfy the needs of the population. Much like people get water out of the Mississippi, they get water out of the Colorado. Las Vegas uses a tiny percentage of the water allocation for that river, and then treat and return it. The rest is pissed away by the Californians, who generally live nowhere fucking near the river. |

Part of the solution is more reservoirs in nor cal and central California to capture more winter runoff then use that to irrigate. |

Finding a man made solution for everything is the dumbest idea that’s come along, and has fucked us on everything from housing to healthcare. This man made lake in the desert going dry is a perfect example. |
