the radio recently reported that Las Vegas (outside the strip) was the most water efficient city in US, re-purposing almost 94% of its water.

Of course, Florida was the least water efficient state. It amazed the engineers that the state gets an average of 4 feet of rainfall annually, but we still have lawn watering, and Miami / Palm beach and Tampa/Clearwater are often in severe water restrictions.

But, at least the water management district has plans for more water storage. I believe their latest plan involves some 14,000 acres on the Caloosahatchee to be turned into a shallow lake for water to be used during the dry season.
