  1. It’s always the same story, poor planning on the part of the reclamation dept. constitutes an emergency on our part!

    1. The real emergency is that we’re not already working on building a wall on our side of the Mississippi to keep these soon to be thirsty folks to their chosen drought destinies.

    1. Whelll that’s different. As a matter of fact that could be why nobody is to use that water. It’s needed for a higher cause like making money for the rich.

  2. Stop trying to feed us this garbage about climate change.. we get that we are in a drought. Maybe Colorado should turn from it’s wicked ways, repent, and then He will hear from heaven and bless this land! Pray for rain folks! God is the only one who can supply it.

    1. @Tobias Stevens I wouldn’t say that. But I would say that it’s because of them we are heading down the wrong path, for sure.

  3. This is the reason you don’t build where there is no water. The earth dictates where we can sustainably love not us.

  4. Story says absolutely nothing about imposing mandate or who would be the authority to do so amongst several states.

  5. With all the drought out west, California should stop producing so much bottled water, most of the bottled water sold in this country is produced in California, go figure. Check it out!

    1. @Orbital Cooker from my end. YouTube isn’t showing your post. I am able to get your name and post from the notification, but when I click to see the full reply it shows that there is no comment from you. Lol

  6. Clinate change? Dont you mean weather manipulation. The arrogance of man to think we are the cause of what the earth is doing is not as arrogant as to think we could stop it.

  7. Those farmers are growing crops to feed livestock. We literally don’t have enough water to keep eating trillions of animals a year

  8. Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!!!!
