Phoenix Is Running Dry and Something SHOCKING Has Happened?

It's the question on the minds of many - when will Phoenix and the rest of Arizona run out of water?

They need to kick out these foreign companies out of the state draining our water supply.

Great video. Omitted some of the big water wasting projects, which are commercial Server Farms which use anywhere from 1 million to 3 million gallons of water per day to cool them. That is about 3000 to 13, 000 homes worth. There are now 60 datacenters in Phoenix, using the same amount of water as several hundred thousand homes.

So, it is not like the city is all about smart planning...

Farm fields turn into houses, Asfault, concrete and tile roofs are making it hotter than ever in Phx.

The first time I was in Phoenix was 1956 . We drove in from the east through Apache Junction to Phoenix about 30 miles . There were hardly any houses or buildings, nothing but orchard after orchard as far as one could see . It was so humid the air felt thick and the smells were heavenly . Date palms, grape fruit, lemons, oranges, and more . There were thousands and thousands of fruit trees. It is all gone . Just a few trees left from old orchards . When I came back in 1974 it was asphalt, concrete, and lots of building . Sucking up water like no tomorrow . It was not humid any more . I would bet the water usage more than tripled . Now that is some good planing . NOT !

Maybe they shouldn't have let the Saudis grow alfalfa on the Phoenix's backup water system, using that water!!😮😊

I was in Texas. It was dry as a bone. I turned down a street and all I could see were condos being built. Their aquifer was already down 75% in that area, but they keep building.

I lived in Dewey Arizona (near Prescott Valley). Many of the rural properties had wells. Many of the wells were going dry at least part of the year. New wells kept getting deeper to get water. Great area, but getting tougher to get water.

Grew up in Az. back in the 80's. Left for 40 yrs to Wisconsin and recently returned 4 yrs ago. I don't remember it being 100 degs.+ overnight. Every night. Loved growing up here as a kid. Not so much as an adult. Thinkin' bout a move again already.

You earned a sub with this one! By far the best video I've seen about Phoenix's water. Well done!

new home permitting halt is to save water for the huge semiconductor plants being built

If we're so good with water conservation why aren't they forcing agriculture to use drip irrigation and enclosing the canals? A large percent of our water is lost through evaporation.

I'm a Colorado 5th generation native and live on acreage in the woods on a well. I like to come down and do some camping in the spring to take in some spring baseball games around Scottsdale. It somewhat blows me away by how much water usage I see around the PHX area. When Denver is on "water rationing' and limit lawn/garden days, I ask folks in AZ about "water rationing" and get- "what's that"? I usually say, that's what they make Coloradan's do to save water for AZ, NV and CA to water lawns.

No more golf courses, unless on gray water, over a million gallons a day on grass watering. Turn the rest off of potable to reclaimed.

Politicians allowed Rio Verde, and outlying community to access our ground waters even though they were not permitted to do so. Someone got to pay off.

Outstanding video and production quality. Thank you for the informative and entertaining video explaining Phoenix water.

[kennethcohagen]

And now there are semiconductor manufacturers are coming to the Phoenix area, the Valley of the Sun or simply the Valley. They use massive amounts of water, and they will get the lions share of it, while the residents will have to ration their water.

Replacing farms with endless tract housing is not a good idea. Outsourcing our food will result in disaster.

Hit the thumbs as soon as RS appeared. Great video Brian!
