Okay so let’s say a million acres get turned into above ground kiddie pools. These people collect and store as much water as they can, so it’s like a million acres times day ten feet deep.

How much of an effect is that water going to have on the surrounding hydrology, being trapped on those properties?

Well, it would amount to about 224 days of average flow of the Colorado River in a given year. So that would probably affect things quite a bit.

Okay, so how close is the actual amount being collected, to a million acres times ten feet deep?

Do you think it’s ten percent of that? Is everyone with an acre keeping the equivalent of a foot of water on their property?
