Operation Waste the Water showing progress
This item comes to us from the Sacramento Bee. The Feds are threatening to sieze water from the Colorado River:

An excerpt:
For years, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other fast-growing cities in the region have depended on surplus water from the Colorado - supplies that exceed their entitlements. Now, the Southwest is shifting to a much drier period, and states are facing not only the loss of surplus but also cutbacks that could affect tens of millions of people. In California, the water squeeze is already being felt statewide. With less water from the Colorado River, Southern California is pushing conservation, more use of groundwater banks and extra pumping from the Delta. "We are entering some new territory," said Raley, who notes that the modern Southwest has never had to deal with an extended drought.

We note with glee that the southwestern states has a population growth rate equivalent to many third world countries. This will no doubt get rid of the pesky desert pupfish and doubtless other worthless species.
