Will Las Vegas Run out of Water?

Las Vegas is booming... partly thanks to the Oakland Raiders and Vegas Knights... but what about their water supply? We’ll chat about where Southern Nevada’s water supply comes, Lake Mead, and the problems with the Colorado River dams and drought. The water crisis in the west and water security is a big deal.
BIG UPDATE since posting: States Agree on Colorado River Plan: Federal authorities and seven Western states finalized a landmark plan Tuesday to manage the Colorado River amid a continued 19-year drought. The agreement, the result of a yearslong negotiation process between Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, will incentivize conservation and water cuts throughout the states to address the overallocation of water from the river. 40 million people and thousands of acres of farmland in the West rely the Colorado, and climate change has helped cause levels in crucial reservoirs dip to concerning lows. The states are calling on Congress to create legislation "for immediate implementation" of the plan.

Nice video, more needs to be done about the water shortage. The problem being affluent house developments with landscapes like you would find in the midwest or east coast. The fact that there are a ton of golf courses in las vegas and in other desert cities and states. Grass doesn't grown here naturally and people are wasting a ton of water to have it. A bill needs to be passed to ban grass landscapes and all golf courses. No reason for these out in the desert.
