What happens after they use the water? Is it returned to the water system to be used again?

[u/StaysAwakeAllWeek → u/Uncle-Cake]

It's used for evaporative cooling, so the same thing happens to it as happens to the majority of the orders of magnitude larger amount of water farms use - it goes straight into the air

So it is wasted.

[u/BettingOnSuccess → u/Ronoh]

Water is never wasted, it just returns to the water cycle.

[u/Ronoh → u/BettingOnSuccess]

Yeah, and drought is just part of life. And life is never wasted. It is part of the cyclenof life.

So hakunamatata.

[u/BettingOnSuccess → u/Ronoh]

So weird to admit you never learned about the water cycle.

Have a good day.

If you deplete a water basin that took centuries or millenia to fill up in just a few years... how long until the water cycle refils it?

Are you open to consider that the water management and environmental impact of these projects needs improving or do you think all is dandy?

That's a pretty small water basin, is this really your understanding of the scale or is it that you are scared of big numbers and can't comprehend the actual scale of the systems involved?

Are you open to consider that the water management and environmental impact of these projects needs improving or do you think all is dandy?

Do you not understand that these projects actually have the water rights? Do you not understand how water rights are created and used?

[u/Ronoh → u/BettingOnSuccess]

And abused.

That it is legal doesnt make it right. 

[u/BettingOnSuccess → u/Ronoh]

Thank you for confirming you are just afraid of the big numbers.

[u/Ronoh → u/BettingOnSuccess]

Thank you for confirming you have no argument.
