When Will Arizona Run Out of Water?

Arizona’s

Water Supply

As a desert state, Arizona receives its water supply primarily from the Colorado River. The past few years have seen a boom in growth, especially in the Phoenix area. With all this growth and people moving in, will there be enough water to go around in the years to come? As I sought to answer this question, I came across some startling facts.

Get “Uncaged” from Arizona!

This is just a friendly reminder that there
are places outside of the boundaries of Arizona…

 

 

 

 

Gonna lift to the great wide open

Wanna set my spirit free

Won’t stop till I reach the ocean

Gonna break these chains holding me

 

 

Gonna swim in the coldest river

Gonna drink from a mountain spring

Deep in the land of the great wide open

Let the water roll all over me

Uncaged

Oh, wanna swim in the sunshine
And every day find a way to face my fears
Oh, wanna get in the wind

Gonna take every chance I’m given

Feel the wind through the open plains
Freedom is a gift, get livin’

Go chase that sunset highway down
You got to get uncaged!

Introducing “This Or That”

In “This Or That” articles, I will post photos highlighting features and characteristics of Arizona. The Arizona photos will be followed by a second photo showing the alternative to Arizona on the same topic. These will not be wordy articles (except for this one), and will only have photos asking you, “This or that?”

It is my hopes you will find these photos inspirational and assist you with looking beyond the distant Arizona horizon.

The very first “This Or That” is a topic very important to me…lakes!

I thought it would be fun to have a little quiz to see if you can tell which photos are of Mars and which are of Arizona!

Sad Tales of the Desert: A Poem By Edelmann & Vetterli

Serpent Moves

I’m moving, I’m changing
I might find myself
Out in the desert’s land
Raise the moon
Call the dead
Touch the sky
Curse the sand

I might
Leave myself
Out in
The desert’s land
Like the serpent
Glides from its skin
With gentle moves
On floors of sin

- Chris Vetterli & Marky Edelmann
