      Southwest has plenty of water for a while. Lots of rain, lots of snow on the mountains.

      The cities trucking in their water are unique. They built their cities incorrectly, or are very old. I truck water in, but it’s because drilling a well is a lot more expensive and the water isn’t great unless it’s treated.

          Much of the water in the sw is from the ground and mountains.

          Water from the Colorado is used because it’s easier to access. It’s going to be the fire to go and the most observable.

          In the desert communities , if you live near a mountain range that gets snow then you’re likely sitting on top of a lot of water.
