    Vertical farming conserves about 90 to 97% irrigation water ~ would love to see how vertical farming can be used to reduce water consumption for agriculture ~ how much water wil AZ be able to divert from agriculture savings converting traditional horizontal farming to vertical farming ~ we would love to see your follow up video with how optimizimg water use throughout agriculture will save Arizona water future ~ thank you 🙏😇

      No really it's not just Californians we don't want anymore people coming here! Everyone that comes cause they didn't like certain things about where they lived before! And then try to change the way we do things to match the places they just left! Or they'll knowingly move next to A race track then complain about the noise, and make it their life's work getting the track shut down!!! Or next to A horse rescue then complain about the smell and try to say it's A health risk to try and get it shut down!! Transplants were successful in halting the rebuilding of an iconic landmark restaurant the Mining Camp! Cause people who'd only lived close to the restaurant "A major tourist stop and A huge part of our cultural history not to mention economy" for A few years prior to its unfortunate burning down! Complained about the congestion on the road and the noise cause oh ya it also had a bar and barn that were used to host country weddings, as well as the smell! The smell? What those people have something against smelling the absolute Best BBQ Beef Ribs and smoked Brisket? Then there's the "GUNS" issue! Look if you hate the 2nd amendment and the sight of seeing 1 out every 5 people you see in public open carrying makes you uncomfortable or feel unsafe? Then you shouldn't come here! Cause quite honestly I feel alone safer when I see my fellow neighbor's carrying around me. We're the type of people that'll defend strangers like you in dangerous situations, and yal wanna come here and try to change the way we do things around here, and we're all getting pretty fed up with it! But all that kind of drama aside. Let's talk about the many many different creatures in AZ that'll fuck you up! Cause we're like the Australia of the United States here. We've got like 13 or 15 species of Scorpions or was it Rattlesnakes? Either way there's 13-15 of each Scorpions and or Rattlesnakes. Then there's the Brown recluse spider who's neckratizing venom eats away at your flesh! They lay eggs inside they're bite marks sometimes. We have Black Widows and Arizona Browns. Centipedes the size of small snakes. Wild havalina aka wild bores/Pigs. Gila monsters with poisonous saliva that can kill you. Vicious mean Badgers. Raccoons, Skunks, Kudamundi's, Mt. Lions, Black Bears, Coyotes, Eagles, Hawk's, and Owls all of whom will snatchup your smaller pets to eat them! Oh and Wasps so big they'll kill tarantulas 8 times they're size and drag them back to they're underground nest where they'll eat part of them and save the rest for the eggs she's about to lay inside the spider so the young have food when they hatch! We have sewer roaches the size of Hummingbirds that will have no problem flying straight at your face. Did I mention that the rattlesnakes will swim right up onto your boat, they'll climb your trees and cactus, you'll find them at your front door in your garage sometimes your toilet and even in your vehicle and pool! If you don't already know what A Haboob is? I'd look it up! Oh ya and one last thing we don't have any water! We do but we don't.

      Yes most of our personal use is for outside like pools and watering plants. I'll be curious to see how this shifts as less people get pools. I saw a recent stat (don't want to quote it inaccurately) but it showed a decline in the number of homes in the Valley with a pool, particularly the new construction homes.

    This girl is full of crap.they got rid of 2 farmers from another country that had over 100000 acres of land for alfalfa. And saved 19s of millions in water.just saw a documentary on this yesterday. The local population wells were drying up. That means no water and in Phoenix there still putting up home 3 to 500 at a time.tomaney people not enough water.i would not move there

    • @heidilittleton
      @heidilittleton  8 місяців тому +1

      If you watched the whole video, I did share that some areas ARE experiencing real water shortages and that this needs to be addressed. I by no means claim to be a water expert nor am I an expert in every single city in Arizona. In Phoenix itself, the homes that are currently being built have an AWS certificate mean they have at least a 100 year supply of water. Obviously this can change at any time as our climate and growth changes, but this is based on the information that is available TODAY.

    guaranteeing water that is needed but may not exist is a problem. agriculture is necessary, but it may be necessary to change to less water needy products.

    • @heidilittleton
      @heidilittleton  8 місяців тому +1

      Yes I think that is the big goal. Agriculture is BIG for us (many don't know that!) so I think the best solution is to look at ways to reduce water usage (drip irrigation) or change out crops. We can't get rid of it all together...it's too valuable!

It also has a HUGE impact on our economy bringing in $23.3 billion to our state’s economy and supports more than 138,000 jobs. I think those factors make it necessary.

    What developer has you on the take? You failed to bring up how these new mines who rely on water and can pollute ground water. I'm a geographer and ground water will not be replace because the overburden has collapsed so there is no space expand. Lets look at Wilcox. There are retired people whose water table has declined so much they must drill 300 feet deeper. If you were 70 on a fixed income can you afford the cast of drilling? These developers don't give a damn. It's all about raping more money. I the West land developers have a long history of taking the gold and living the people with the shaft.

      Nobody is paying me. 🤣 I'm sharing information based on the research and seminars I've attended. As I mention in the video, there are smaller cities that DO have an issue that needs to be addressed. There are also larger developments that are planned, like Superstition Vista, that have to have a real long-term plan in place.
      I do not know enough about the new mines (I'll do more research) but do know there are some legal battles hoping to close the loopholes. I will keep an eye out to see how it unfolds.
