- silverquiet 2y agoI don't really get the problem? Arid conditions are a bit nicer for humans since the wet bulb temps are lower. If it's about water, then agriculture uses a lot more than cities do.
- ssl-3 2y agoInterestingly enough, I also mostly only see backlash about agriculture in hot places that are also deserts.
- bcrosby95 2y agoYep. Southwestern states are eventually going to have to decide between their own residents and, e.g., providing year-round lettuce for the rest of the country (Arizona). The imperial valley - a single farming region in a literal (rather than metaphorical - LA isn't a desert) California desert - uses enough water from the Colorado river to account for 100% of residential water use in California.
