I grew up playing -soccer- football in the dirt and asphalt. I would look at Maradona and van Basten and envy the nice grass they had available to them. However, when you have lemons, you make lemonade, so we had to learn to conserve water. I now live in a different climate entirely but still have conserving water in my DNA even though I don't need to. Waste is not good even if you can "afford" it. Its like having 5 children. To me that's a self-inflected wound, not to the the individual who's had all those babies but to humanity overall. We don't need kids, stop having more than 2.

The quality of life doesn't have to be low, but it must be different. There are ways to work with nature and still thrive. I live in the desert and I've slowly been transforming acres of bare desert by planting native grasses right before monsoon and bringing in truckloads of compost from a rancher who was happy to donate the multiple tons of manure. I only had to water a few trees for three years to get them established and now they're doing well on their own with no input from me. The grasses were allowed to multiply as they wanted and are spreading dramatically fast all by themselves. We didn't bring it in, but amaranth has claimed our entire south pasture and now we have grain for wildlife. The place went from giving 'surface of Mars' to 'prairie grassland' with no irrigation at all. The deer and quail love it here. This year we begin building swales to help recharge our local aquafer and retain moisture in the soil. Plant things that want to grow where you are. If you enter a battle with nature, you're sure to lose. If we work with her, she'll reward us 100 fold.

I grew up not far from this town, in fact I was born at the hospital across the street from the Saint George Temple. The county has a major problem with oriental grass. Most people I know would either flood water it or use sprinkler irrigation. The amount of grass that is grown simply to make landscaping look cool is astonishing. They really need to take a page out of Las Vegas’ playbook. However the biggest abuser here is California. Ask someone from SoCal where their water comes from, they’ll tell you it comes from upstate, the Sierra Nevada mountains. They don’t realize how much of it is pulled from the Colorado river. California needs to do a much better job with educating their general population on where their water comes from. And also cut the amount of farming in the south, at least for a little while until the basin has enough time to recover.

Desert desert everywhere and not a drop of water to drink! I know, let’s build a golf course...🤯

People has “swamp coolers “. A small pump cycled water through pads and a blower sucked air through the pads into the house. It was evaporated air conditioning. Very cheap and reliable. The principal worked because the humidity was SO LOW the water in the pads could cool the air as it went through. You had to turn it off at night because it got too cold!!

For ex, Coke/Pepsi take water from poor farmers/villages and donate a little bit of money to schools/hospitals to keep their mouths shut. They make billions and donate a few hundred thousands. The people have no clue where the water is and how damaged their environment has gotten until it’s too late. The factory just moves elsewhere to exploit other villages. They pay absolutely nothing for the permanent damages to the environment and using up the already scarce resources, like they would’ve in normal circumstances. And all the damages/costs are borne by the poor and their progeny for generations. Families have literally committed suicides together to escape the debt trap that they eventually find themselves in. Once all those poor abroad are all done with and their resources drained, they’ll come for the weak in their own countries next. That’s just capitalism.

Now these short sighted people are building homes there at an alarming rate and sucking up all the water with their unnatural landscapes. These homes are going for more than a million dollars and that's WAY to expensive for me. Now the desert southwest is going through its worst drought crisis in history. If they don't start conserving water instead of wasting it on unnatural landscapes and golf courses, there's going to be no water left for anyone. When the water runs out, these developers are going to be out some serious money.

As a home owner in an area of drought, people do seem to believe that paying a higher water bill magically recharges water supplies.

There's plenty of other grasses that don't use as much water - including grasses native to deserts like Achnatherum speciosum (Desert needle grass). It may not be very fun to play on, but it'll look just fine in lawns. Our recesses in elementary school were in one of two areas - one of which was the asphalt parking lot. The other playground had a ton of burdock and stickseed plants and not much in the way of grass (actual gravel in the playground equipment areas).

@@flash012234 Ive listed several facts all over this video as to why it wont, but okay dont read them and just comment how you feel instead.

The ignorance and selfishness of those officials and the residents of this town is astounding. Recently the St. George City manager said "less water doesn't mean no water" as an argument for still wanting this absurd pipeline despite the mega drought, declining water levels, etc.

"Put it to good use" Yes, by watering my 14 golf courses in the middle of the day.

Perfect

Nobody “needs” lawns or golf courses. Those are wants, not needs, and they are impractical things to want in a desert. If you want lots of green, move to Ohio or Georgia (or any other number of states with a humid climate). People have lived just fine in deserts for millennia without playing golf or surrounding homes with lawns.

This is what I've been saying for 20 years. If you want a green lawn, just stay in Indiana. Or Tennessee, or any of dozens of states where you can grow grass without draining a lake.

Sounds gross but it isn't: using reclaimed wastewater for irrigation is a good use of resources.

3 out of 4 home sales in Washington County over the past 24 months have been non-Utah residents. It's mostly people who fled California or other lockdown states and came here for the beauty and the freedom. I speak to these people on a regular basis.
