      It worked until now, but the hoover dam has been holding back water for only about 90 years. Before then, there were probably many similar droughts that would have gone unnoticed because there weren't as many people around that depended on it, and those that were around didn't die because they didn't use as much water as they do today.
      It's the same with all other extreme weather events these days. They say things are getting worse and cite all of the destruction that tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and forest fires cause, but a few hundred years ago, any comparable events could have happened and no one would have known the difference.

      That's never going to happen. Since 1975 the population has grown by about 1000% To put that in perspective, if the population of the US grew by that, the current population would be about 2billion people. Also, despite LV being one of the worst hit areas of the housing crash in 2008, they can't build enough housing to keep up with current demand.
      LV wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the BLM which has traditionally owned most of the land around the valley and developers depend on cheap land from the blm to keep building out the circle as they refer to it and this has resulted in a lot of poor zoning all across the valley. A couple of years ago I was at a zoning mtg and this developer said they were lobbying congress to get more land to build out because he said that there weren't enough plots in the middle to be worthwhile. I started laughing because he was there representing 34 acres and just two blocks from me was a 34 acre vacant lot, about a mile from downtown, empty for 14 years, and turned into a homeless camp. And I can stand on my roof and point out 3 other similar plots.
      Most likely what will happen is that it will just get more and more expensive to live in vegas and as more people and money comes in, more people will be forced to leave. The california model.

The mismanagement of water resources. Countries dumping their garbage in oceans. The 250,000 sea turtle's dieing each year by being caught in commercial fishing net's. They all talk in circles about global warming. This is the perfect reason for depopulation so they can continue making that they will never be able to spend in their lifetime, but keeps the family dynasties going. People mistaken these rich people who donate large money that is a drop in the bucket to them, and have to have the media talk how great they are. They are wolves in sheeps clothing. Just a reminder, the pandemic was a virus from a lab that was made more lethal on purpose. Then within weeks it's in every country. In reality it was here in our blood donations in mid November before China announced it's first case in December 2019. If China did this then why has not one country called it an act of war? Who's to say the new Delta variant wasn't man made, and was released after a certain level was reached. Who's to say there won't be a third or fourth variant coming to the USA? Why has governments not done anything to China? This is deliberate, and no one will challenge China about it. We are nothing more than a pawn in our time on earth if you don't come from certain family lines. I'm just going to keep doing whatever I want until my time is up. One thing I will start with is why is our own government talking, but doing nothing? They need to answer this question to it's citizen's that are being murdered by this biological warfare againt the entire USA population?

Business that use water fight tooth and nail to avoid any hindrance to their water access. Then of course local governments have to enact water saving regulations.

    The cities of Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Tucson has grown so much that they have exacerbated the water supply. This was not a problem in the early 60's. The systems that were developed in the early 60's were not designed to handle the large population growth that came after. One river and a few Reservoirs are not enough to provide 20 million people with enough water.

      It's less an issue of having too many people and more an issue of wasting copious amounts of water and drought caused by climate change. In Arizona, for example, less than 20% of the state's water goes towards municipal usage. Of that municipal water, 70% is used outdoors to water grass, fill swimming pools, washing cars. On the other side of the coin, agriculture accounts for roughly 75% of the state's water usage. There is literally no reason to have massive cattle farms in the middle of the desert and even less reason to have golf courses and grass-filled yards.

      Keep in mind that people drink water to replenish ones water loss due to evaporation. Guess what...that water goes right back into the atmosphere as......you guessed it....water. now water does break its chemical bond due to uv radiation in the upper atmosphere and it releases its hydrogen atoms. The point being through my scientific rambling, is that you have no idea what your talking about. Technically, what your bitchin about is the redistribution of said water in another undesirable land mass. If you want more rainfall then you need to find a way to persevere water tension in the oceans. If the surface of water is calm and still, it has higher evaporative properties.
