Water in AZ is some of the cheapest in the country. At least until Lake Powell runs dry. Not a bad idea to spread the risks around however.

  When you look at Lake Mead and Lake Powell lately it seems they are well on the path to running dry.

  No wonder they grow all that lettuce in Yuma. Seems extremely stupid from a long term perspective, but what do I know. I'm just a software guy.

    They grow lettuce in Yuma during the winter because it's warm enough to grow it there during the winter. Something around 90% of the USA's winter grown leafy greens produce comes from Yuma.

  At least until Lake Powell runs dry Which is coming a lot quicker than anyone expected. It's why all of the cities and water authorities hooked up to Powell and the other Colorado River reservoirs are in panic mode these days. Just a few weeks ago, the various states came to an agreement about cutting water use. Lake Mead is at historic lows. There are mandatory federal restrictions either in effect, or about to start.
