Wouldn’t it be more practical for these big population areas to build more lakes and reservoirs to supply their needs like they have done in the past?
The key to secure, drought-proof and long-term water planning is diversity, so regional plans should include as many different options for securing water as possible – from building reservoirs and capturing and purifying run-off to buying water from other regions, like the Panhandle, and piping it to where it is needed.
