Water doesn’t run out in a meaningful way. It moves and gets contaminated. Both problems are solvable.
Our approach to water is part of why we are able to give up so much from our pull on Lake Mead during this drought. Nevada is giving up 21k acre-feet, Mexico 80k af, and AZ is giving up a whopping 512k af. Nothing as far as I know for cutbacks from CA's draw.
I’ll repeat, when you build here you bring your water. And we actually enforce that. You don’t get to build a new subdivision or plant a nut tree farm without sourcing every drop of water you’re going to use.
Water is running out in some states. It’s not running out there because there isn’t water - it’s a symptom of failed water management strategies.
