06:00 "that's just not sustainable" "that just human nature, it goes back to manifest destiny, it's the American dream." how cringe-worthy. It's NOT sustainable. Manifest destiny was completely unsustainable and socially unjust. As an American, that is NOT my American dream. That guy was basically trying to justify unsustainable development, and the reality is, we are kicking the can down the road, and making it the next generation's problem. Jane Goodall was right when she said, ""We haven't inherited this planet from our parents, we've borrowed it from our children. We have not borrowed our children's future -- we have stolen it and we're still stealing it now, and it's time we get together, whatever our religion, whatever our culture, get together and start changing the way -- changing our attitude -- so that we can leave a better world for our children, whom we love."

Frankly there is nothing unusual in "Manifest Destiny" except it was publicly announced. Every human group historically gets the largest area possible and exploits it. It just in the last life time or so people have begun to question it.

Excellent work, Love you Al Jazeera!

To deny the Navajo nation water is discrimination and the government say's they're not prejudice! You lie ! Change the law these people are entitled to running water for survival, how ignorant can you be to deny them this right! Do something about it! If you don't you will be held accountable ❤️🇺🇲

I like Bronson Mack's spin on it in the beginning. 10 years from now 2031 you can interview him again as he explains the new pumps they designed that press the water out of the mud, because that's all that's going to be left.

We will die along side the dying river……..

I propose cities clean their sewer outflow to near drinkable levels and reuse the water for irrigation or put it directly back into the river....cleaned and bountiful. I would imagine just Phoenix has a considerable sewer outflow that can be turned around and reused. This would be the single greatest investment we can make to ensure sustainable water use.

Wow

Nature does not eliminate water, it is either a liquid, solid or gas. There is currently a drought in the west and the populations there will have to adapt or perish. When Glen Canyon was filled it flooded cliff dwellings of indigenous people who abandoned their dwelling likely because of a drought.

W.T.F.???? You never had running water 💧

Everything man touches he destroys!

One of these days they're going to have to give the Navajo their respect

Nothing that a little bit of effort cant fix.

I seen this happening in the 70s & 80s when I lived in the West. More people, bigger cities, more & more. It will be a shortage. I live in East Texas now. West from Dallas its drying out. Natures way. But why don't the gov build a water pipeline from Louisiana to Arizona? They have plenty of the wet stuff. If we can build an oil pipeline from Canada to the South, we can build a water line to the West.

That’s what will happen eventually. The govt isn’t opening its mouth now as such a proposal will have the greens and environmentalists up in arms. The govt will Waite until the west is on death bead and will steam roll water diversion after declaring water emergency so the projects can be built by corporates unopposed

because southern Louisiana is unstable marsh land that's already sinking. If you drain what is basically swamp you will destroy an entire ecosystem. Salt water will seep into fresh water you kill the wild life. Human beings consuming vital resources not even considering the consequences is how we got here to begin with.

@@paulomilan515 there is plenty of water in the river with out having to drain the swap or taking away the share of water that’s needed to maintain the marshy swamps. However, your fears aren’t unfounded because you never know how recklessly they will divert the water once they have come up with the infrastructure as they have always done so in the past

Building a pipeline from the Mississippi means more people, bigger cities, more and more as you put it. Non native ornamental grass, plants and trees banned in California would rather see for a start. Farmers conserving a little bit of water wouldn't hurt. More people, golf courses and resorts is what a pipeline means. Don't consider modern Californians Californians at all. Reason natives have and are fleeing.

something else man messed up

If western farmers had to pay the full cost of their water usage would go way down. They are the biggest welfare recipients in the country.

Here in florida we got water. We got lakes.

Bye Bye River , your time has come.. Tootaloo... kiss kiss bye bye.. NEXT..

I am calling for the Colorado River U.S. to turn to a blood-like by Aug. 19, 2022. And it will not go away except by the Word of the LORD. This is as a sign of notice, for if God did not perform signs and wonders and miracles, no one would listen nor consider me. Therefore God must testify to me enough so that I can return that testimony back to Him. I am the Golden Lamp and I will soon rest between "The Two." My work is at hand. Come and see and hear for yourself!

Hurry humans, go colonize Mars so you can ruin that planet too.

simple answer "desalinization". oh! but that cost too much money. too bad! California has the pacific ocean and have all the money!!. they can afford it.

people could build large solar stills which could also use wind and solar energy for also choosing to electrically boil and distill water within coastline desalination facilities to fill reservoirs and freshwater distribution pipes and canals. it really wouldn't be that expensive after they are built because of using green energy. the electric heaters would have to be long-lasting though as to keep the cost of operation low.

@@jacobmartinelli7496 have you done your research mate? Do you know the unspoken ills of the salt water that will be released from the desalination plants?? Large scale / number of desalination plants will lead to dumping of heavy salt water into the ocean across the coast and it will wipe out all marine life in the coasts through imbalance in water salinity levels and dramatic drop in dissolved oxygen levels caused by increased salinity. It will literally bleach the coastal stretch of most marine life.
