The loss of NIA pool water is a canary in the coal mine, as deeper Colorado River cuts could wipe out even more important renewable water supplies in coming years. https://t.co/MIFvdVgst3 via @azcentral

Another comparison would be water use on a 50 acre farm. The magnitude of water use and economic benefit provided is off here me thinks. Acre-ft > gallons when we are talking about water supply at scale. News cycle will likely never learn. Effluent from Phx reused by PVNGS.

In the end, the best number I could find was attached as an appendix in the meeting minutes of a city council meeting. It was a study Microsoft had commissioned that estimated that the campus will use around 56 million gallons of drinking water, equivalent to 670 local families.

They sent me this survey, no chance I would fill it out, too intrusive, but I WILL READ It :)

Dry cooling requires more energy but less water. I suppose it depends what your needs are. I'm awfully partial to water.

[Las Vegas Sun @LasVegasSun]

Evaporative cooling is the second-largest consumptive use of water in Southern Nevada, behind outdoor irrigation.

Plant Vogtle Unit 3 has officially reached commercial operation!!🇺🇸

Becoming the first newly constructed nuclear reactor deployed in the United States in over 30 years & one that can power ~500,000 homes and businesses.

Great article on the challenges with the ag sector's water use. Curious how the salinity issue will be addressed with drip technology. Adopting the tech can also be an issue if the farmer doesn't own the underlying land

[Joanna Allhands @joannaallhands]

Arizona agriculture uses a lot of water. But using less isn't as simple as asking farmers - by goodwill or force - to stop growing thirsty crops. https://t.co/MZs4lJoDMG via @azcentral

$13,500/AF if viewed as a perpetual supply.

Buckeye will purchase the land from Harquahala Valley Landowners, LLC. Buckeye will gain 592,592 acre-feet of groundwater and is authorized to withdraw a maximum of 5,926 acre-feet per year over a minimum period of 100 years.

Experts here in Arizona and across the nation agree there is no “silver bullet” solution to our current water challenges. We must evaluate and invest in both short- and long-term efforts that will help us achieve our goals. #HobbsSOTS #SOTS2023

How severe is the #drought in CA? The below graph shows Feb-April precipitation amounts from 1900 to today. The red arrow points to 2022, as one one of the driest Feb-April in the last 122 years. Use water wisely!

Commissioner Touton: To protect the Colorado River system "between two and four million acre-feet of additional conservation is needed just to protect critical levels." #azwater

"My big concern about ESG investing is that it distracts everyone from the work that really needs to be done." Seems like a lot of times the ESG movement is a "feel good" type of movement. We need more creativity to make an impact at scale. https://t.co/PFOuIxETGb

[Scott Slater🇺🇦 @SlaterWaterLaw]

Um. As some people have been saying….. dry, dry, drier still, parched, desolate, THEN REALLY WET. Like build the ark wet. We need infrastructure to match. Really. We do.

GERMAN power prices hitting record levels and climbing even though temperatures are above normal for time of year. Traders anticipate worsening of Russia/NATO tensions, potential for sanctions and an interruption of gas supplies, and inventories depleting to critically low levels
