I worked on the CAP. The images of the canal in the desert do not do justice to the endless miles of cactus and ocotillo. Great engineering victory, but it came with a high environmental cost. Every drainage and dry wash for 330 miles was severed. The fragile desert ecosystems were immediately impacted.
CAWCD and the 3 counties 'taxed'? Not true . . . in a way. Those three counties are central to the taxing community (all of Arizona). Costs are passed on to humanity . . . whether or not it's direct revenue to the State, or distribution warehouses, or Food Stamps, or industry . . . whatever. CAP water belongs to lawful activity that values life.
@@thosetruselboys165 Yes, I've noticed they've been doing it at night too. I couldn't see the moon for several nights. Poisoning us from every angle and the sheep still trust authority.
Everything has a balance and we are offsetting the Earths balance with our pollutants. Above the Troposphere, we are depleting, is the Stratosphere where thunderclouds are going up into now resulting in stronger more powerful electromagnetic equalization in the atmosphere, very powerful thunder and lightning storms, as well as stronger hurricanes. As we offset the balance it will cause adverse effects increasingly more relative to the damage we do. Deserts will get increasingly more inhospitable and storms considerably stronger in tropical areas causing extremes. Efforts to curb the continuing damage fail due to some countries not willing to sacrifice to avoid financial loss or loss of businesses so our future seems quite bleak ir regards to that. I am highly concerned about the world I'm leaving my daughter in.
The question is, are we running out of clean drinkable water? I don't know, probably. We pollute water, use up the fresh water, goes to the ocean, gets salty, takes tons of energy to fix. We count on the earth for renewing the water by rain, which is happening less in the areas we need it. The earth is so complex but we are learning.

Is it true they used internment camp Japanese as free labor to build those canals during WW2 times?
@@miltonperez5257 you should have watched the video. Early on it states that the project was started in 1973.
Just curious why it wasn't made deeper instead of wider to lessen evaporation.
When will the open canal be covered with solar to reduce evap and algae?
when Arizona/Federal has $20-30 billions.

Great infrastructure
When I was a little girl, this water stunk and tasted really bad. This is before we had bottled water. I remember those days so well.
Coincidence Dennis De Conceni happened to own property he bought just before the canal started. Lincon thrift saving and loan. Nothing to see here.
Seems like if something is desert, better to leave it that way. All those golf courses in Scottsdale...smh.
If the canal River have Fresh Water , this can save People Live they are dying in the Hot Desert

They should make more canals for farming south of the valley.
did you notice how "cloud seeding" (chemtrails) is casually mentioned? 3:10
Do you see how white Arizona is now. Straight cloud seeding ugh poison

My wife gave birth to a tortoise due to "cloud seeding." (shakes fist) Damn you, federal government!
Looks very odd and ugly in the middle of the desert and most likely, like California it won't be enough in the end.
at the end nothing will be enough - there is no earth-
I just came here to read the comments from people who like to bitch about everything and/or think everything is a conspiracy
Is planet Earth running out of water?
The planet Earth never run out of water unless we had something take away our atmosphere
Earth's atmosphere is a closed system: water that evaporates becomes water vapor, which then becomes rain.
Everything has a balance and we are offsetting the Earths balance with our pollutants. Above the Troposphere, we are depleting, is the Stratosphere where thunderclouds are going up into now resulting in stronger more powerful electromagnetic equalization in the atmosphere, very powerful thunder and lightning storms, as well as stronger hurricanes.

Lakes that supply water can run dry causing people to have to move. Thats not so easy to just move all of the southwestern states.
