Comments on: "Ocean" To Be Built In Arizona Desert

As Part Of Water Sports Theme Park That May Use 60 Million To 100 Million Gallons A Year

Lizardbate needs to read the WHOLE article. They''re going to build a water treatment plant to make the water safe for swimmers. But here''s the question: Why doesn''t Arizona invest some money and build the water treatment plant since they know the water is there and can be cleaned and used for the people when growth is becoming such an issue?! And here''s my own personal question: How can people stand to live there? I don''t understand the growth! I lived there and moved away as soon as I got a chance. Never saw a drop of water in the "Salt River." Hot as Hades, people. It''s no way to live!

Sometimes the gluttony of America is despicable.

Why not use Salt Water; with global warming seems we are going to have lots of that. We could even reflood the salt flats and dry lakes creating a new source of lake-water effect storms that might well replace ground water being used by all those dry states.

Did this article say, you''all would be swimming, surfing and canoeing in arsenic water??????????? I think this guy is lost in the desert and seeing a mirage???????

The only thing that can exist in a desert is a mirage short of one very impressive irrigation system anyway. I don''t hold out much hope for this.

I haven''t even read this article and I have a problem. There are cities in America that have no water and Arizona wants to build a water park. What''s wrong with that picture.

Looks terribly irresponsible at first glance, but maybe not so bad. If golf courses use that much water and likely fewer people would use a golf course than would visit this park.

I thought that Lake Mead was drying up and the southwest was having a drought. This sounds kind of weird?

The park will only use about 15% more water than the golf course --Posted by chiefsatw at 11:23 AM

I would LOVE to know how much that 15 percent works out to be in actuall GALLONS!

Let them build it, itll bankrupt in no time, the desert will re claim it, and then itll just be a laughing point.
