1. HISTORY GIVES , NOT JUST IN USA , WE CREATED & SUFFERED THE " DUST BOWL " . WATER POLLUTION KILLINGS , DEVASTATING DAMAGE FROM DEVELOPERS .

2. Republicans hate farmers.

3. Fun fact: climate change in the Midwest USA is golf course owners and big city gardens taking tens of thousands of gallons of water a day and then crying to politicians who then say “because we need water more, you have to use less water than us privileged few”

4. We have the ability of solar power and yet rely on the hoover dam cos of what.. historical "value"? Gtfoh!

5. Like I said I have a real solution to Americans problem contact me NBC News

6. News crews, always preaching we are in dire straits. Let's be positive and be grateful for what we still have.

7. They need big plastic gallons containers and open them up store water when it starts to rain

8. I give it a week before protests erupt about water usage

9. This is purely over-exaggerated lies. Western America just got a ton of rain and snow over just this past week.

10. A mega drought is thousands of years. I really wish the man-made climate change crowd would quit trying to exploit everything.

11. Welp, with the cyclone hitting the west coast, i am certain these water issues will be addressed. BTW…. be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

12. Arrogant types keep moving to deserts and arid states…… Gee Karen why no water – global warming, climate change, conservatives and their SUVs.

13. Is it climate change or the amount of people pulling from it?

14. Yea, Kelly – lets print some more money so Arizona can put off the inevitable a few more years….take a hike, suckafish….

15. If you raise the cost of water then you will have the money to fund projects and people will stop wasting water. High rate users should pay a punitive price per gallon.

16. Is there really actually a way to save water. It's like saying that everybody must have a dishwasher or it's against the law. The newer dishwashers use less than 4 gallons of water it's forsure a good idea.

17. Blame Coors brewing Co…your welcome

18. With the rain hopes return, yet denial remains.

19. Now I feel guilty by flushing the toilet

20. Tax water usage at golf courses and country club memberships. That's the one tax that won't hurt the poor. I bet the Democrat's will reject that.

21. Proposed bill doesn't restore land just builds more aqueducts, more storage capacity, its sad.

22. Stop building in desert. Restore land, restore aquifer, grow trees, grasses.

23. It’s called millions of people and no rain. It’s just the next test in the government’s plan on control. Next is climate lock downs. It’s coming…

24. Forget about oil & gas pipelines, the next big thing will be fresh water pipelines.

25. Maybe he should drive around in a more energy efficient vehicle.

26. We don’t need to waste tax dollars from taking out the grass just let me know t die.

27. And California is putting so much water on almonds all the time. And China is allowed to go to the Great Lakes and take the top levels of our water. And az is letting golf courses get all that water

28. Stop building cities in deserts and stop eating so much meat. Feeding crops takes water, then feeding all the crop to cows + water for cows for YEARS just to turn that cow into a bit of meat across a few families. Those same families could have had those crops directly for years rather meat for weeks. Meat in moderation.

29. Apache Junction, Arizona just sold 2700 acres to two homebuilders to build 10,000 new homes.

30. Middle eastern countries have have used oil money to buy up much of the land around Blythe, along with water rights. They produce hay and alfalfa, and ship it to back home to their countries to feed their stock. Take a couple minutes to consider the costs and energy involved in this.

31. we are heading towards another dustbowl but for different reasons

32. You people can't be this stupid,the reason there's droughts cause there s no rain, how does rain form? From moisture that evaporates to the sky,remember the 80swhen everyone had a grass lawn and washed there cars everyday,it rained all the time ,bottom line all these efforts to conserve water is causing the droughts,turn on the sprinklers,open the fire hidrents flood the streets and fields and watch it start raining again,dumbasses

33. Can you imagine 100 million people depending on that water supply. People please learn to wash with sand. In 2050 you could see 100 million people in the west and most coming from South America. Can you say Soylent Green, just say it, it just rolls off the tongue 👅 like water 💦 in the year 2050 your going to love it, it tastes like chicken 🍗.

34. They're living in a desert. If they want plants, they should grow cactuses not grass.

35. Thank you China and India for polluting and destroying the earth.
