Golf courses in Phoenix use mostly treated effluent from waste water treatment plants and then they are supplemented by CAP (Central Arizona Canal) water taken from Arizona's allottment from the Colorado River.

Nearly all of the water used in plant irrigation transpires into the atmosphere and doesn't return to ground aquifers until the weather delivers it - very likely in some other geographic location.Brickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643862636090957324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-12100443507182324302013-11-06T18:18:03.533-07:002013-11-06T18:18:03.533-07:00Neat to see Autumn colors in the dessert.

Of course it is recycled - nature sees to that. It is expired through plants into the atmosphere and eventually returns to the earth as rain, hail or snow. But where? It is simply relocated, there being no more or less water on or around this planet than at any time since time began. Sorry, Steve, I know I need to stop ranting and lighten up. You clearly live in a beautiful place. I'm jealous!
