Summary
editDescriptionCoachella Valley.jpg | Let's get environmental, 3: Palm Springs pretty much exists because of groundwater sources. Green patches you see are golf courses and developments. The problem is that if I've understood correctly, PS takes far more water out from underground sources than what goes into them. Renewable they are, but not in the current rate of consumption. How long does this lifestyle continue before PS turns into another ghost town? 50 years? 100 years? Note also the difference between "old" PS (up, left) and newer Palm Desert (right). From the sky, PD's developments are clearly wasteful compared to PS's modest mid-century landscaping-trees-public-parks style. |
