not this angle of it. Limited water being used to create desert tomato crops with little money going back to the workers or to those whose crops were robbed of the water they needed.

Cap, most of those golf course, and all the resorts, are running on RO seawater. It's still stunningly wastefull, but that's what Cabo runs on.

(fair lady) is really, too small and the water plan for that area...none, worry about water,not today !! K&T:cool:
