no water…coming soon to a town near you!

Filed under: energy & agua, eco-thoughts — admin @ 6:31 pm

was given a link to a recent article in the Times concerning Long Beach’s water restrictions because of recent drought & dry weather.

For some reason, i thought we were still carrying on this behavior from the drought we had in 1990 (which personally, i don’t think we are out of), but i guess everyone else thinks that we are so now we are in a water crisis again. what i found most hilarious was how officials think that, “Southern California is in better shape now than during that drought because agencies have been aggressively storing water in recent years in reservoirs, which remain at healthy levels.”

Healthy compared to what, nothing at all? i can’t believe this, i just can’t. our population has been exploding in this state, and with the exception of a couple of years between now and 1990, i can remember a handful of really good rainy seasons. And i can’t imagine that most Californians have been watching their water consumption. We need to stop babying the people in this state, we have it the best out of most on the planet, and i don’t think it is too much to ask for

most of the people on the planet DO NOT have access to fresh water, i think we can start laying off the manicured and useless lawns.
