West megadrought worsens to driest in at least 1,200 years

Yes, according to my uneducated research, the Colorado River still flows naturally and was not diverted. The "drought" measuring comes out of the dam lakes, as they are going down every year. No snow, no water, no water, no snow - is what I have found out in school when there were only few people watering their lawns in the desert.

 

I have a small grass lawn in front of my house. Today the landscapers are supposed to be here and remove the grass and convert my yard to "desert landscape." Did the back yard last summer at a cost of $5000.00
The cost was high because now most of the yard is pavers except for a raised portion I had built so my wife can have desert flowering plants.

 

Nice, a bit of savings in the long run on watering the lawn as well. Love and understanding to your family)

 

that would be about $10 a month in savings. Not really paying for itself anytime soon. Or the fact that it’s costing me $3k + to do 400sqft of conversion and no guarantee I’ll recover anything from the city in their pay for conversion program.

 

$10 a month a bit low where I live, but still $120 a year, can buy a nice desert tree for Christmas.

PS: I don't do things I like in order to recover them, it's a gift to myself for enjoyment, like buying a used semi or pkp

 

Where in the Midwest is there over supply?

We flood in the spring, but for the last 3 years WI has hovered just below drought levels.

 

East Coast braces for nor’easter amid more Midwest flooding

 

That's from 4 years ago.

And as I said, we flood in the spring, but overall have been hovering just below drought levels. Little Plover has been drying up regularly for the last 5 years and Lake winnebago has been at the low end of normal for the last 3 years.

2021, if you didn’t see it in 2021 or every year then your not really looking.
