DFW will run out of water in 15 to 20 years. And your [censored] politicians keep bragging about bringing in another fortune 500 business here to the metromess. FYI it took 50 years to get to where Ralph Hall is currently at, which is to open in 2 or 3 years. Texas has got to put in desalination plants along the coast. Water will be very expensive to the point where you won't want to live in Texas. Dallas has to get serious about water usage for everyone in the city. Quit watering the streets and sidewalks, plant drought resistant plants that don't require a lot of water to live, quit putting waterparks in subdivisions, start water restrictions on watering your yard (all year), the list can go on and on..... Once they do this and are serious about it, get back to me and perhaps I'll listen to your water needs.... Tell us about your drought resistant plants and watering restriction.

No, in San Antonio we are waaaaay more worried about not complying with ICE and having 1,239 road construction projects on every major roadway to think about water. Our solution is to tell people to just stop using water. That at least keeps the foundations companies in business, which leads back to the wanting to stay a "sanctuary" city..............  There's approximately 75,000,000 gallons of water per day being pumped to San Antonio.

I know all the big cities in Arizona have water restrictions and mandate certain plants. I don't think Dallas has to go too extreme but does everyone have to have a perfect and lush yard? Do you need to water your yard every other day?

Unless the desalination tech evolves to be more cost effective they are going to have to build more lakes and big ones, believe there are some big talks at the capital about this lake in March.

The last thing I saw; and I can't remember who published it, Marvin Nichols was off the table. The powers that be were teeing up the lake that will back up to the Cooper Lake Dam instead. I'm in a couple of groups that follow or are fighting against Marvin Nichols and that is probably where I saw this, about 6 months ago. I had a high school buddy sell his 600 acres for it, his farm house was positioned directly under the dam.

It wonโt be in the lake but will probably be in the flood plain. I should be able to stand in my front yard and see it when it is full.
