Comment from Kaiku
always enjoy your take on events that are so distant from you. There are politics and much more involved in the shortcomings of the Colorado. Water rights being purchased from one area and then shipped or funnelled to another area causes much turmoil. The snow up north (Flagstaff) helps to provide water for the Phoenix region, however, the number of recreational areas such as golf courses put a constant strain on the water supply for the AZ area let alone Las Vegas and the path up through the running of the Colorado itself or as you say `El Dorado`

Ciao,
Thank you for the extra insight .. golf course and I bet swimming pools too..to maintain both costs far too much precious water.
As you know the Spanish Conquistadors searched for El Dorado ,believed to be a place of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the New World.
Colorado River was once a great source of wealth too
hence I thought to combined Colorado and El Dorado ..
and also cause I thought the rhyme was cool. (biggrin)

The situation is dramatic
Climate change is real and the Nina has caused floods over the globe .. people have died too.
It?s very frustrating because Man is the cause of so much havoc.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
