Has Anyone Given Any Thought as to America’s Water Supply?

By Frosty Wooldridge

We, the American people, have enjoyed endless water, energy and resources for the past 250 years.  No other civilization on Earth has experienced such incredible abundance yielded from the Natural World.  At the same time, we experienced incredible freedoms, wealth and space not known or enjoyed by 1.4 billion Chinese, 1.44 billion Indians in India, much of Africa, Indochina, Mexico and many parts of South America.

It’s been a heck of a ride.  It’s so good that over 100,000,000 (million) people have migrated to the United States in the past 61 years since Senator Teddy Kennedy pushed the 1965 Immigration Reform Act through Congress.  Those refugees escaped poverty, war, disease, famine, illiteracy, hopelessness and worse to partake of “The American Dream.”

Because of that mass migration, America jumped from 194 million in 1965 to 300 million by 2006, and now, exceeding 340 million people. Give or take 25 million illegal aliens. But more sobering, we are projected to grow another 74 million by 2060.

However, we face a HUGE problem with those numbers.  We face a definite lack of water, energy and resources to sustain such extraordinarily enormous numbers.

What could possibly be the problem?  Answer, every American averages 80 gallons of water used daily in the performance of their home, and the services that provide them with products. If you tabulate 340 million people X’s 80 gallons, that equates to 27.2 billion gallons of water 24/7.  

At some point in the future our water resources are going to collide with an insurmountable number of people demanding that liquid gold. It is inevitable that there won’t be any solutions.

Case in point: this winter, in Colorado, the snowpack dropped by half of its usual amount.  Where I live at 8,000 feet, no snow or rain fell in September, October, November of 2025. We received 10” of snow on December 3, 2025.  None in January, February, 2026. We finally received 10” in March, but none in April. Finally, in May, we received 10 inches in one snow storm last week.

As I visited my recreation center this week, a sign read, “Level 2 Drought Conditions.”  

That means the Colorado River that feeds water to all of Arizona, Nevada and California will deliver less than half the usual water. Lake Mead has dropped over 140 feet, so much so, there’s only one intake value operating to turn the turbines that give Los Vegas its unlimited electricity for all those lights.  At some point, without electricity from those turbines, Los Vegas will go dark. The city exists in the desert, so without water from the dam, Los Vegas faces enormous consequences. 

What does it mean for in-excess of 50 million people in Arizona, Nevada and California who depend on billions of gallons of water daily?

Why does this show you that America faces tremendous consequences as to water?

Well, because of that 1965 Immigration Reform Act, we import 1,000,000 refugees annually.  That breaks down to 3,500 people added to the USA daily.  That equates to millions more gallons needed to supply those immigrants with their newfound country living “The American Dream.” 

There’s another sobering point as to those 1,000,000 immigrants added annually to our country.  According to the Center for Immigration Studies, www.cis.org, and Doctor Steven Camarota, those immigrants birth nearly 1,000,000 more babies annually.  That means 21.8 million gallons jumps to 43.6 million gallons of water needed to service their needs every single day of the year.

What happens when that extra 74 million people land on America by 2060 to give us a total of 414,000,000 (million) people?  

“The United States is facing a multifaceted water crisis driven by climate-induced droughts, depleting aquifers, aging infrastructure and pollution, with nearly half of the country’s freshwater basins potentially unable to meet monthly demand by 2071. Over 2.0 million Americans lack running water, and 44 million use systems that do not meet safety standards.”

Right now in 2026, Florida houses 23,000,000 people. That state already faces water scarcity problems. Yet, they expect to reach 32,000,000 by 2050.  Texas houses 31,000,000 today, but projections show them reaching as high as 54 million by 2050.

Again, each time you jump those numbers into the millions, you jump that 80 gallons of water into the billions.

Additionally, we pump 3,500 refugees into the USA EVERY FRIGGIN’ DAY OF THE YEAR.  They are sucking us dry of welfare benefits, incredibly overcrowded school classrooms, free breakfasts and lunches, and WATER. They cause mega air-pollution, crowded highways, higher cost of living, higher crime, higher taxes and a plethora of growing nightmares.

You can’t help but keep wondering about those people in Congress that possess brains like Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, AOC, Kamala Harris, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and any of those people who are SO OLD or SO INTELLECTUALLY VACANT, they cannot escape their lack of knowledge or inability to understand what they are doing to us, will affect all our children as we degrade into a civilization that cannot feed, water or sustain itself.

How do we save ourselves? Our children? Our civilization?  

Will A.I. save us?  Will conservation save us?

Answer: the only thing that will save us is ourselves. One solution would work: Egress equals Ingress.  If 100,000 people move out of America annually, then, we could accept 100,000 people who speak English, bring needed skills, and are compatible with Western values.  

“The crisis of our diminishing water resources is just as severe as any wartime crisis we have ever faced. Our survival is just as much at stake as it was at the time of Pearl Harbor, or Argonne, or Gettysburg, or Saratoga.”  Jim Wright.

“Unlimited population growth cannot be sustained; you cannot sustain growth in the rates of consumption of resources. No species can overrun the carrying capacity of a finite land mass. This Law cannot be repealed and is not negotiable.” Dr. Albert Bartlett, University of Colorado.
