Phoenix area can’t meet groundwater demands over next century, analysis finds

My family in Scottsdale was telling me about a community of around 1,000 people in the Rio Verde foothills, since the development was built, it has depended on Scottsdale to provide all the water needed. On January 1, 2023, Scottsdale cut them off since they are running short of water. For several months (maybe still today0, they depended on rainwater and trucks that would bring bottled water. At one point Scottsdale agreed to provide water again but wanted the county to help fund and the county refused. There was talk of building a multi-million dollar pipeline to the Salt River Project but that will take years and homeowners water bills will be $500 per month. Crazy situation and who thought of buying a house in a development where there is no water?
Obviously it’s a crime that after his presidency he and his wife wrote a book and made some money off of it.
Obviously two homes is just too much for a former president, especially if he is black. No way we we ever want to respect the office enough to allow ourselves the dignity of a former president having the ability to own 2!!! Two whole homes.
That’s just too much, so let’s post about it as much as we can to remind people of how absolutely devoid we are of any morality. To tell everyone how shallow we really are.
Phoenix= middle of the phuquin’ desert!
Vegas, too!
Biggest fraud in America the last 50 years was those who “figured the hundred year aquifer“ for adding housing, businesses (and golf courses) FOR the Phoenix area!
They're obviously the only former President and first lady with two homes. UNHEARD OF!!!
As someone who has family out in Arizona, I have a hard time caring.
You moved to a desert, and despite all our technological advancements as humans, still have a hard time getting you water.
Sorry. #notsorryatall?
Also, wont people see through the scam that is bottled water at some point? I am not sure there is a more wasteful consumer product. Tap water with a reverse osmosis filter. Then throw in the millions of plastic bottles in the oceans, etc.
On top on all that is Nestle being one of the worst, ethically, companies in existence. Yet they still produce a significant amount of the worlds bottled water supply.
Like maybe the desert isn't the best place to be growing plants that require tons of water to grow.
They use recycled waste water on the golf courses. Don’t put the tees in your mouth BTW. Oh, and OB1 actually has 3 homes, DC, Martha’s Vineyard and Hawaii. More or less square footage than Al Gore? I can’t say for sure…
No pun intended, right? The “lakes/ponds” on most of the Phoenix golf courses use “non-potable” water.
