I'm glad to see this. It is constantly annoying to see there's amateur hot takes on Las Vegas that really ignore the larger water issues of the southwest as a whole. I know only enough about the subject to realize i'm an idiot when it comes to all this, but there's so much going on, and it all hinges on the Colorado River and proper water usage. Also for reference because it really bothers me when people leave out comparisons, the Vegas Valley rainfall is cited as 4inches in the article and then compared to the national average of 38. This is borderline intellectually dishonest in my opinion, since I'm not sure many people would realize that LA only has 16 inches of rain on average. Is it better than vegas? Absolutely, is it anywhere near the 38 being used for this comparison? Absolutely not. The entire southwest has a lot of issues they're going to eventually need to address, and I'm frankly much more worried about the 40 million in LA than the 2.2 in vegas.
