Wow..."Judgement Day" such gloomy Gus's...
S Cal sucked the Owens Valley dry starting in 1905. So LA could water their lawns..
Also SF got the adjacent valley to Yosemite.. Hetch Hetchy Valley dam built by 1919... John Muir was at least able to save Yosemite Valley from the thirsty folks in SF. Otherwise is would be underwater now as well.
S NV has had restrictions on residential landscape watering for the past 10 years or so. the only water lost in this valley is through evaporation. the rest is recycled through Lake Mead.
Yes they have just completed a new water intake at a lower level in Lake Mead, or LV would be outa water right now.
