“Nineteenth century water law is meeting 20th century infrastructure and 21st century climate change,” Bradley Udall, a senior fellow at the University of Colorado Law School, told the Los Angeles Times, “and it leads to a nonsensical outcome.”
Heck yeah! Las Vegas, America's temple to waste, greed and wretched excess, wasn't even THERE in the 19th century.

Lake Mead record low. I thought of our discussion on toilets today when looking at the July Scientific American. Full page picture of a toilet with a drinking straw coming out of it.
