Colorado River

I've never understood why, from a geological perspective, LA, Phoenix, and Vegas got big. Vegas, however, is recycling all of its waste water (not run-off unfortunately); LA and Phoenix will get there soon, I'm sure.

On a recent trip to AridZona, I noticed several public parks that stand out like an oasis in the desert. They are all watered by processed waste water. No drinking or swimming is allowed. But, you can walk on green grass, under green shade trees and see lots of birds who think these parts are the pretty good.
