6. I know. However, the west is in severe drought

that's echoing the Dust Bowl years, although farming methods have changed enough to prevent the choking dust storms from it. It would be nice to have a pipeline and contingency plan in place since these epic droughts are periodic, at the very least.

Here in NM, we have our own water diversion project ensuring a water supply to farmers down south and in Texas from across the continental divide. The San Juan River has been partially diverted to the Rio Grande Valley. Most of the local water is ground water from deep wells.

Some times you have to make tough choices. This is one of those times.
