I was humiliated when I discovered the Colorado is used up before it even gets to Mexico. This part of Mexico should never have been robbed of their water resource.
The U.N. and the U.S. government should do what Nevada, Arizona and California won't do, that is, oversee development of this part of the country so that this problem does not get any worse than it already is. Before there is further development of this area, research must be done to discover new means of water supplies, such as desalination of ocean waters.
Personally, I feel we are 'way behind the curve in addressing the problem of over population, worldwide.
I am a 75 year old lifelong Hoosier, but proud to be part of the community of Earth and concerned about our tendency to abuse our resources without any seeming consideration to the future.
