A lot of these views are of Idalou at the edge, at the city limits, but if you drive out to Lubbock's city limits you would see much the same thing at this time of year.
Lubbock, of course, is growing ever larger and more populous. Not good in the long term, because there won't be enough water to support that population. You could safely say that Lubbock and all the other communities in this area that rely on the aquifer are on a road to nowhere...
Lubbock has two surface water sources but one is at 4% capacity and the other is dwindling rapidly.
At the very least, we will see very strict and severe limits on water use in the future, and that will make a lot of people very unhappy. Restrictions have been placed on agricultural use already, and the farmers hate that. My land, my water, they say. They hate the idea of having their water use regulated in any way. At any rate, these pics complete Idalou...
