There are so many wonderful and unique ecosystems in the southwestern U.S. states. Hopefully we are learning that some climates can not sustain unlimited developement and try to keep housing from spreading where there just isn't enough water. It is interesting to see how nature copes with such changes and over time what will occur.

Nature's resilient... that's for sure. I read this and was really happy seeing over-pumping of local aquifers mentioned... it's a step in the right direction IMO. I keep hoping some day.... some how.... we'll put an end to shipping our fresh water overseas to recharge other country's aquifers seeing as how it's pretty much a no brainer to me we could sure put our own fresh water to better use ourselves recharging some of our aquifers.
