These people are stupid, they can put 20 pipelines in, it doesn't change how much water they can pull from the lake. Upper basin gets 7.5 Million Acre Feet per year, split between Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico.

The pipelines are about moving the water more efficiently to places that need it.

the Washington County pipeline is going to bring the water that Utah has rights to already. The water is in Flaming Gorge, it will go down the Green river, into Powell then sent to Sand Hollow.

What's most disturbing is this Utah pipeline is for Washington county (i.e. St George). Which has absolutely no water restrictions and uses more water per Capita than Phx and Las Vegas (that maybe combined, not sure). This water addiction has been being discussed for many years prior to now. This was Washington counties fix instead of implementing some sort of water use rules like most cities in the southwest have done.

IMO. Need to reduce the growing in the Imperial Valley. Growing water hungry crops in the dessert makes no cents. There unwillingness to change is going to only continue the problem.

Speaking of pipelines, why isn’t the government that is willing to spend trillions on infrastructure, talking about pipelines from places that have water to places that need water???

The Pacific Northwest has too much water routinely and that water can be moved by pipeline down to the southwest.

And if a water pipe breaks no one‘s worried about the environmental impact except flooding

Or at least incentivize more efficient watering methods, lots of these places are still running on flood irrigation which is abysmal in waste.

Well given that roughly half of the surface area of the Great Lakes reside within the Canadian border.....

Don't worry, when shit dries up they will be forced to finally get off their asses and make a decision, mainly it will be a blanket reduction of water rights amongst the 7 western states.

Flaming Gorge Dam is all the way up in Montana, no? How much of that water gets to Powell before evaporating?
