No souf, it's our own fault. Our wonderful state overseers sold our water rights to the lower basin states in 1922. Now, today, we owe them and we need it here. You and I (we) are paying for something a short visioned, cash grabbing state legislator son of a bitch did that has been dead for years now.

Bingo, pute......and the water we do have in-state is over-allotted. We definitely need more storage for the Spring run off when there's a >free river< designation in place. That, and more conservation. :rolleyes:

Put, I knew they sold it, but dint know when they sold it. That was a long time ago, we should be able to renig on the contract. They do waste our water though, paid for or not.

If all the CO THCFarmers would donate a pump and some tubing, maybe we could pump that water back to the mountain tops and recycle it.. haha

Apparently the agreement is rock solid. Just lost a law suit with Kansas over the Arkansas river. We sold that as well. Waste.....how about golf courses, hundreds of them, in the desert???? They are still building them in spite of the shortage of h2o.

It's all about who has to pay. Things will change- not necessarily for the better- when more developers have to pay $14,000 or more for water taps to homes they're building. It's already happened in Broomfield.

When I built my cabin in the hills my tap fees, sewer and water was $11,000 and cost another $4000 to run the pipes from the street to the house.
Since we are talking about water I won't even go into how much it cost to run electricity to the house.

Hawkings stated we wont make it another thousand, Im willing to bet the farm we wont make it 500 more years before having to abandon ship.
 
#337
We waste precious water, trash the sea, pollute, and spend more doing it over again.... we should revert back to apes to save the planet...
 
#339
Next....people will be fighting over air rights.

I had no say in water rights theft ...nor where it went or where it goes. Therefore I bore no guilt and take no blame. If there is anything that is a necessity for life you can bet your square ass that some greedy fuckers are gonna take control of it.

Water rights are more valuable than the land in most areas. Unfortunately, like we are seeing with weed, folks cannot self regulate and a drop becomes a reservoir just as a nod for 6 plants being allowed for personal use >somehow< morphs into a warehouse grow with thousands of plants.

It's GREED, and nothin' else.
