How are we looking for record rainfall this year?

seems like its rained a lot more than past years this summer. Should I get a garden going? Are we out of danger for running out of water?

when the reservoirs are low do they have water restrictions there?

here after a few years of drought they introduced varying levels of water rules depending on where you live

no washing cars at home
watering garden only on certain day/s of week
no watering garden at all
etc

ya theres quite a few unenforceable ones like water your grass every other days and stuff like that. The most noticeable was a lot of teh apartment complexes had to turn their elaborate fountains off although the place I live now still has one going in the pool. Might be city wide instead of county I guess

I thought fountains just recycle the same water over and over.

Give the guy a break. Science is hard.

We have had some good rains the past few weeks.

In general, we're still pretty screwed.

It's worth noting this report assumes global warming effects, as well as increased demands, in these dire predictions. I would reasonably expect if things get close to this dire, you'll see things like desalination plants popping up, and other means to lessen the strain on the Lake Mead / Colorado system that just simply are ignored in this study.

I'm willing to bet infinite Lake Mead won't go dry in 2017. Doubt NWP will be around that long though to collect.

Here's a funny, and true story for you. In San Diego, the Metropolitan Water District has been very successful pushing for conservation programs. So much so that water use has dropped to a degree the District has now recommended *RAISING* the price of water to make up their budget short-fall. ell oh ell fucking government thinking is killing me.

Do you know about the pipeline?

There is a good documentary coming out about all of this next month.

lol

I certainly wouldn't bet against you. The two guys that wrote the study were really trying to send a wake up call that we have to start planning those kind of changes you're talking about. They're clear that the 2017 date is based on the assumption that NO changes are made, and even then they only give it 50/50.

The problem with desalinization is that it requires a ton of electricity.

I heard about the SD price hike. It's a good way to piss off your customers and make the government look like idiots. But in general, water is still really cheap.
