# Michael Michalchik Delta water also supports an ecosystem that will...

*March 30, 2024 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Michael Michalchik's comment.*

Michael Michalchik Delta water also supports an ecosystem that will be destroyed by pumping it to cities to the south.  Taking too much water from the Colorado river has also had harmful effects on the ecosystem. Yes, pumping the water inland raises costs.   But, as you point out, so does buying up coastal real estate.  Which will end up most cost effective?  I don't know, but I'm confident some entrepreneur will figure it out, if they're allowed to do so, and not stopped by irrational government bureaucrats.
