How Limited are you Water Resources?
How dependable is your water supply?
What would you do if
the water did not come out when you turn on your facet? Do you take for granted
that fresh clean water will always be there when you need it? Have you
considered how you will respond to continuing increases in the fees you pay
for your water?
What will you do when there is no water available to you and
your family?
Are you aware of the water shortages and depleted aquifers
below?
On November 24, 1922 in Santa Fe, New Mexico the water in
the Colorado River was promised or allocated to seven states and each was
allotted a share of the river. The amount of water or river flow was divided up
based on a twenty year river flow study that had just been completed. Today
looking back we know that the twenty year study time period was the wettest
twenty in the past hundred years. Tree ring studies now tell us the past
hundred years was one of the wettest hundred year period in the past thousand
years. The river was millions of gallons over allocated the day they signed the
Compact.
The Ogallala is the largest aquifer in the United States. It
was charged or filled with water from the melting glaciers around ten thousand
years ago. The available water in this underground aquifer has been declining
since the first electric pumps were put to work. It is not a question of will
it be pumped dry, rather a matter of when it will no longer be capable of supplying
water to the land above.
Satellite studies now allow science to better understand how
much water is in the aquifers below ground. The recent study of the California Central
Valley aquifer shows large water losses. The Central Valley produces a large
amount and variety of foods. This food is consumed by all of America. Science
believes the aquifer below the Central Valley lost enough water to fill Lake
Mead during a short study period. Lake Mead is above Hoover Dam on the Colorado
River and the largest man made lake in America. As the water table falls in
California there is a well drilling free for all going on with large wealthy
farmers drilling deeper and deeper wells.
Whole towns have already lost the
municipal supply wells to thousands of people.
Droughts and mega droughts have brought cultures and
civilizations to their demises throughout history.
Do you want a secure water future? Do you understand aquifer
and surface water over allocation? Are you confident that you can go out and
make informed decisions in your quest for a reliable secure water future?
Water rights, both ground water and surface flowing water rights to put the water to your own personal beneficial use are available today.

How to Buy Water Rights

Drought, Will Your Land Have Water?
The drought has brought in sharp focus many issues, fundamentally it is about water, lack of water. Water however is no where near the top of the discussions we hear.
Perspectives shape views, concerns range from crop production, farm losses, food prices, balance between energy and food ratios, inflation. Food shortages have lead to at least a few regimes demise through out history. Remember, drought is about lack of water.
This brings us to a whole new view and issues, aquifers, drawdown and recharge, we are pumping water out far faster than it is replenishing itself. Some large aquifers are infact expected by science to go dry. The Ogallala is ancient glacial water, the recharge source has been gone for thousands of years. The Ogallala is the largest aquifer in America.
Since the 1950’s, "predevelopment" when we your started pumping water out of Ogallala with electric pumps instead of windmills, the water table level has been dropping.
Unforunately, this is a fact worlwide. So food production to feed the estimated nine billion world population twenty five years from now, must be the bigger question.
Questions from an individuals point of view could be, how can I and my offspring really be prepared. Personal responsibility and an individualistic spirit exemptlified our ancestors. What can I do now to be prepared, for the generations to come.
Your water source is the key, do you depend on a municipal system? How secure do feel about that? Are you looking forward to a time when the ability to produce a percentage of your our required nutrition may be required? Remember the 2012 drought is leading to food shortages worldwide with six billion people today. World population is expected to increase by fifty percent in the next twenty five years.
With a relatively small parcel of land you can produce; grass feed beef, poultry, eggs, pork, fruits, vegetables, even milk, cheese, and fish, but you have to have a stable supply of water. It is a ton of work. It is how most Americans got through the depression, self sufficiency. We have superior tools and technology than they did. Greenhouses, electric well pumps, solar applications, aquaponics, kitchen counter sized milk pasturizers. the list goes on and on. Self sustainable lifestyles are considerably easier today than it was in the 1930’s.
The oil industry, hydrology, geology, climate change studies, well monitoring, flow gauge measurements of seeps and springs, weather monitoring of precipitaion and snow pack, all add to our data and knowledge about what is going on below the surface of the land. We have a great deal of science regarding which water sources are stable, or in balance and which are not or may not be.
Where you own land will determine whether you have water or not.

Ranch Land, Herd Size, Drought, Ground Water, and Water Rights
Irrigated Farm Land, Cattle Ranches with Water Rights listed and sold here.
Much of Nevada land is public owned lands. Nevada has the most public lands in the continental United States, much of it is managed by the BLM or Bureau of Land Management. Water Rights on Ranch land in Nevada is our most precious resource.
Many Nevada Ranches have BLM range land leases for grazing livestock. For instance, you can own 1000 acres and have grazing access to 40,000 acres through these lease arrangements. There are a few important considerations when shopping the ranch land market and leases. Are the water rights owned, is the land contiguous to the leases?
Range land condition and shared occupancy matter also. Are there wild horses on the ranges? While wild horses are beautiful and an American heritage, they can be very hard on the range land and compete with livestock for the food and water resources on the range land.
Water and drought are coming to the forefront in terms of farm and ranch land purchase considerations. Cattle herds are being sold off today due to lack of water and feed in much of the United States. This will lead to a shrinking supply of beef at your grocery store and of course higher prices.
Alfalfa hay supply is in very tight demand with rising prices. Relative to world population arable farm land continues to shrink.
Today it is not just drought that worries farmers and ranchers, ground water aquifers have begun to come into question. Falling ground water tables and regulations coming out of Washington DC's EPA are making some farm land useless. Investing in farm and ranch land continues to be a focus of some of Wall Street's brightest investors.
Just as mineral rights are important to mining and oil companies, water rights are paramount to farmers and ranchers. However, if there are no minerals or water in the ground, rights matter not.
This area of real estate is specialized; it requires a special set of skills and market market knowledge. Issues like critical water shortages, range land quality, AUM regulation, basin allocation, water table stability, etc.
If you are interested in investing in farm or ranch land or you are considering a career in agriculture, you must be prepared. I will be happy to help you understand the important questions you need to be asking.
