Las Vegas has implemented some of the best water conservation. They often are under their allocated water limit, which is very small compared to California. They are actually sending water back so if you’re pointing the finger at Las Vegas, you’re pointing in the wrong direction.

Las Vegas brings the water back to the system about 90% of the time and we are as efficient as we could hope others can be. We are not the problem California is and they are next to the ocean, build more desalinization plant.

El niÑo has been a blessing for California.

How about a video of where Las Vegas used to get its water. i.e. the meadows and the underground aquafers (the pumps off Valley View and Charleston.

I live in Victoria BC Canada. We are experiencing a drought with very little rain this year. I’m almost 81 and have lived in Victoria all my life. I don’t remember going for such a long time without a lot of rain. 🇨🇦

Just think of the amount of beautiful fresh water that came from the snow melt that happened on the western side of the mountains that flowed straight out into the Pacific. California had more snow than ever seen in modern times and everything west of the divide was lost.

Absolutely excellent coverage - your brothers in Phoenix appreciate the SW water usage you are doing!

Thank you for the update.

I like this guy.

Sept 10 - 2023 South California still so hot and humid ….. Can not wait for the winter …..

Excess use surcharges make complete sense. Anyone who doesn’t want to pay them can modify their own water use. It is a choice!

That was a very informative experience. It is great to hear from the other side of the view.

Another excellent compilation of news for we in the Lower Basin. Thank you for a thorough update! Here in the Phoenix area, my wife & I took a ride on my Softail to check out the new developments, as we were concerned about these wealthy developers who likely have Water Commissions and pol's in their pockets. While there continues to be growth (read "sprawl") throughout the far reaches of both East and West Valley, we noticed that NO real lawns are allowed in front yards of these new HOAs. Instead, much more imitation turf has been installed-- a step in the right direction down here! Fingers crossed for a bountiful Winter 2023! 🤞🤞

Wonderful breakdown of the current situation! Keep up the great work!

Another great video, thanks!

Installing grass and non-desert friendly vegetation in new residential developments in the Las Vegas valley has been banned since 2003 I believe. I don’t know if that applies to places like Lake Las Vegas as there seems to be a lot of grass and green landscape there, as well as golf courses.

😮 I remember walking through some neighborhood at night and because of the grass in those neighborhoods you would literally need a jacket to walk through at night. Those neighborhoods are all gone nowadays.😢😢

Great video thank you

Great video. Very informative. Appreciate it.
