> Nature doesn’t provide enough water in a desert to be running sprawling metropolises It sure does. Nature created us. We build desalination plants and pipelines. Humans are amazing. There's no reason Arizona can't work with California to fund a bunch of desalination plants along the coast near San Diego (which already has relevant expertise at it). It's something like 120 miles from the ocean to Arizona's border, a quite solvable problem if an arrangement can be made with California. Alternatively the Gulf of California is 50 miles away. Arizona can do a deal with Mexico. Mexico would agree to that instantly. See: May 2021 "ACCIONA will build and operate a desalination plant in the municipality of Los Cabos, in Baja California (Mexico). The project has an overall budget of €134.5 million." https://www.acciona.com/updates/news/acciona-build-operate-cabos-desalination-plant-mexico/ https://www.acciona.com/updates/news/acciona-build-operate-c...
