It's no surprise Nevada made this graph.

How many washing machines does a single MAFY equate to? Come on man… you gotta give me something to go off of!
SortaSordid
MAFY? Seriously? Could we not just use the metric system for this sort of thing? It is properly designed to scale well.

Cubic kilometers per solstice?

It's overwhelmingly cattle and almond farming IIRC.
PFCWintergreen
Yea almonds take like 2 gallons per nut. As Aisling Bea said “it’s a thirsty nut”
PFCWintergreen
That’s just a population density/agricultural density map.

I think it's more a comparison of how good Nevada is also at "recycling" its water. But yes, California has tons of farms requiring massive amounts of water.

They do need to stop making/maintaining golf courses in AZ to cater to rich people though. It's a patently ridiculous waste of water.
PFCWintergreen
That’s a good point. An egregious waste of water.

How much does the ocean get???
ImOnAKayak
None. The Colorado River no longer reaches the sea. Every drop is used
PFCWintergreen
If the ocean wanted any it should make it profitable

It sounds better than square kilometer meters.
just4thelolz
It sure does. I guess we're the silly ones for using square kilometer meters to measure volume.
