Crumby - A Water Ovation

The rain has stopped again. These parts are in for another dry spring. Only the irrigated, prosper.

Yet the immigrants continue to arrive, expecting to find plenty of water to dump on their new turf grass lawns and links. Do the immigrants bring any water with them? Course not.

Fear not, maybe. The water engineers in these parts know where the deep water holes are in the former Colorado River. Since they know where those deep water holes are, they can run a pipe into those deep holes and suck up the very deepest water in the lakes. The water engineers already also know of a high prominence or two located near those deep water holes. All they need to do is build water treatment plants on a high prominence or two, then, after a while, once everything is engineered to the most environmentally damaging, yet cheapest, specifications, sparkling clear chlorinated lake water from the deep holes shall flow out in various directions to succor the thirsty turf grass lawns and links, toilets and tubs.

Alternatively, the wily yet thirsty immigrant might consider a rain water collection system. Rain water collection systems deny runoff to the needy on your property plus the needy, down grade generally, and instead, allow you to hog all the water for your personal ablutions. The extra wily immigrant, however, will dig a well too, and, of course, get hooked up to the pipeline deep hole in the lake, water delivery service, just to be on the safe side.

Naturally, with millions of immigrants pouring in, all the water shall eventually go to human consumption. That shall prove an interesting scenario. Perhaps all else can do without. We shall see.
