Well since you asked. And we seem to be the only section of the country that is over 75�. Here's the scoop. Although this is the Desert and we usually get around 7" of rainfall the entire year, we didn't even get 3" in 2002. >From all sources of information, it is claimed that there is sufficent water under the ground to keep us alive for some time to come. But because there are trees and plants and flowers that need moisture we are going to have to conserve water. Heaven knows that all the golf courses will need to be kept green, summer and winter. In my travels around the state this past year I have seen some lakes shriveled up and some big impoundments down quite low. This has affected my ability to fish. But all is not lost. They seem to be getting a lot of snow up north which filters its way into the ground water system and into the reservoirs also. They are predicting a wetter winter that in past years. I have been reading posts from all over the country that comes accros on the VFB and wonder how it has been for others. What can we mere mortals do to try to conserve water? Do you think that we can make a difference?What are some of the things we can do?
