"It is not until the well runs dry, that we know the worth of water." Ben Franklin. ///////The population explosion in the Southwest is causing the one thing we up to now have only seen in third world underdeveloped countries.The Southwest is running out of water due to population increase, waste, and climate change. The time has come for evasive action to conserve water resources, provide for more water storage, and to invest in irrigation methods that save water, along with doing something about the tremendous population increase in this area. Those who move there to have huge swimming pools in the desert and water their fake lawns need to understand what calamity they are precipitating by their actions. Will it have to come down to fines? And notice in Las Vegas when you pass a casino all you see are huge fountains, pools, and water displays. Are they truly necessary at a time like this? This study is a red flag that should lead people to truly think of the consequences of their actions. The water problems we are facing now in this country will not go away if we pray for rain. We must be the catalyst in taking a moral responsibility for conserving water.
