Lolwut? Los Angeles and Phoenix have HUGE problems with their water supplies. The effects of diverting water to these cities has been characterized as one of the world's worst man-made ecological disasters. They already have significant drought problems, they're ****ed.
New York City mostly gets its water from the Delaware River watershed >100 miles northwest, and has been reliably been replenished with rainwater and snow melt. Ours is the Bow and Elbow valleys, and it's
not being reliably replenished.
