Our Forefathers here in the USA were smart men, and they built dams in strategic locations during the Great Depression and then the dams had 100 years to fill up the lakes. Now we have huge lakes to supply us with water for Farming, etc. Arizona is supplying New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Saint Louis, etc, with fresh Winter Vegetables.
The dams that we built 100 years ago went on to serve us well, and we are lucky to have lakes to supply us with water for Winter Vegetables, etc.
Certainly we need to be wise, and we need to look closely at our water supply, but our fore-fathers helped us by building dams, they were smart men.
Salute,
