    Default Drought Contingency

    Guys/Gals,
    i try to avoid a lot of pollitically charged subjects here and other forums I belong to. With that I want to bring up a questionnaire I was personally sent from ASU (Arizona St University) Decision for a desert study.
    I live in Arvada (I’m sure others have been sent this same questionnaire, please speak up on your thoughts for or against) and have been here for about 13 years, previously living in Utah for the previous time of my natural life (all you natives that want to give me the “get out of our state can shove it).
    While in Utah we had a politician (from AZ) running their mouth about what Utahns can do to help Lake Meads low water level and I personally flushed the toilet 3x’s every time I went the the restroom and took long showers for that person.
    In the beginning (heh, I know another place where this is at as well) the questionnaire starts off mild asking about how I feel about all residents having access to safe drinking water, water for living, and how I feel about clean water for the the rest of the world, etc etc. As the questionnaire goes along towards the end it brings up the “Drought Contingency Plan for Colorado River Water” that’s where I came unhinged. (For those who do not know please google and read). In the end why should residents upstream be responsible for those who chose to build a city on the desert.
    That’s my open question to the forum...

    Sometimes, in the summer, I piss in the backyard at night. We should encourage that.

    I am in a rural area. Every time i drink, and coincidentally have to drain it often, I just go to the back (or front) yard. As long as there isn't snow on the porch.

    Water rights is a complicated issue.

    Not to hijack, but can we now legally collect rain water or did that get squashed? LOL....water falls from the sky onto your roof, but don't you dare water your garden with it.

    Government....

    We can now collect rain water. I pee in my yard at least as often as I go inside, no matter the weather or time of day.

    We are permitted, by our career gods, to have up to 110 gallons of rain capturing capability.
