a town of 50,000 would use 750,000,000 gallons
if the blatter was 171,000 gallons
we would need 4386 blatters
seems like alot of "blatter space" |
get a solar shower (and math tuition) you're obviously part of the problem

You certainly are not into water conservation, we use water for ourselves and many plants and trees, pool and only use 10,000 lts per month.

Comitan..........
Seems like Bob is having a bad math day. If they're using 500 gal per week, as stated, I believe their usage is a bit less than yours per month.
But, wait till they plant all the green stuff.

I'll bet if mexico went back to the "old rules" ie no foreign land ownership, the water situation would correct itself pretty quickly. Kick all the
gringos out and everything will be fine.

math challenge
If you use 500 gallons/week, you are using 71.5/day, 2143/month.
You are multiplying your weekly use by 30?????
It must be the heat, or happy hour, or .... 
Either way, you better sharpen your pencils, or I don't know what's going to happen to your commercial venture. Maybe let your wife do the math (or
maybe she already is!).

Let's put it this way Dave. If the odds are against me, I won't place the bet in the first place.

I didn't realize all or even most of those massive developements in Cabo were owned and occupied by Mexicans.

Let's see...
...with the oncoming Global Warming causing sea levels to rise...maybe we'd better get some really LARGE DeSal plants up and running to keep the
oceans at bay!
We'd all be 'swimming' in pools of clean, pure, DeSal'd water!...Now let's see...we'd have to power those LARGE DeSal plants somehow...I know, let's
use coal-fired electrical power plants...Oh, the emissions from the coal plants tend to cause global warming...what the hell, we'll have lots of fresh
water anyway!
Have a nice day...
According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,

Studies have shown that for each unit in those developments, nearly 20 Mexican nationals moved to the Cabo area. So there are a lot more Mexicans than
foreigners, even during peak occupancy.
The Cabo Mexicans aren't watering golf courses, but maybe, like Loreto, they are watering their streets.
But it is true in southern Baja that foreign money is driving the economy, population growth and increased demand for water.

I watered the garden and washed the hot rod today. Never had a water outage here in TJ. Plenty of pressure. Sorry to hear about you guys downhill.
Let's hope for a real wet winter. If it's dry...............
