Nebraska goes, “gol’ durn it! We want our water from the Platte River! It’s ours! We’re going to war with Colorado!”
Colorado goes, “Yeah, so water rarely makes it that far anymore, good luck, gg no re.”
New Mexico is like, “Yeah, all our Ogallala wells pump brine now.”
Reminds me, some of the worst drinking water I have had in my life came from those dust bowl states.
You ever read the water history stuff where back in the (I believe) 1950s, there was a plan to build 6 nuclear reactors to power a pump/pipe system to pipe Mississippi River water up to New Mexico? They decided against it, and decided, “eh, that water will run out in 50 or so years, we’ll let future us worry about that.” Checks calendar.
