Las Vegas running out of WATER !!!!!

[Music Junkie]

I've been saying this for a long time. People think the USA has plenty of room, but it doesn't have plenty of fresh water. Las Vegas is not the only place. The entire Southwest USA is in a fresh water crisis.

Clock is Ticking on Las Vegas' Water Supply

Aug 17, 2007 04:43 PM MDT

The news coming from the Southern Nevada Water Authority Thursday about the valley's future water supply is worrisome. Unless we act quickly, there will be no water for hundreds of thousands of Las Vegas Valley residents in just three years.

Eyewitness News looked deeper into the problem and why time may not be on our side. Not only is this a race against time, but it's going to cost valley residents dearly.

SNWA data shows drought conditions getting worse, not better forcing the general manager of the water authority to ask the board to spend more than $45 million to upgrade water pumps at Lake Mead.

Even if all of the water projects are finished and everything starts working on time, the Southern Nevada Water Authority still predicts a shortage.

That means by 2010, the valley will be short 64-million gallons of water a day.
