Just a boy dad 💧🌎🌲🔥“Faucets poised to run dry for hundreds of Arizona residents by year's end. As drought tightens its grip on the West, the city of Scottsdale says it will no longer allow private trucking companies to haul water to the desert community of Rio Verde Foothills.”
Daniel Tuttle 🌵🤘@justaboydad I live there. I know Karen in the article. That this is a possible situation is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard.
Also a point of ridiculousness: this is in large part to support people watering their lawns and golf courses. The amount of water wasted is obscene.
@DanielTuttle as we’ve seen, Americans these days don’t make decisions that benefit the greater good if it means an ounce of inconvenience for themselves *cough covid*. The water future in the west is bleak, and “traditional” suburban habitation in the southwest is no longer sustainable. The taps will dry up, it’s just a question of the timeline for the exodus.
