Rancho Mirage California, that's pretty startling

The California drought, and its deep-reaching consequences, was another critical story this year, and for us, one of the most awe-inspiring photographs was Damon Winters’ (#4) enterprising picture of properties surrounded by the desert in Rancho Mirage. Photographing from a high vantage point Damon told TIME he hoped to show “the extreme lengths we go to live, and live well, in a place that was not meant for us”.

Maybe Sam Kinneson was wrong.  We DO live in our deserts.

Another aquifer that is over-used.

Just put in a big aqueduct from the Great Lakes to the South West...that will fix everything.

....thankfully the Great Lake States/US/Canada have already put law's into effect that should keep that from ever happening. 

Politicians can justify anything...wouldn't surprise me.

The big city's always draw water from the rural area's to support the population of the city.  NY City, LA, etc have massive reservoirs and claim many water rights. I suppose that is what happens when you have a shift of population from rural to urban.
