It would be an interesting article to write about how much water is wasted every day with the Clark County dust control mandates, which require every construction site to use tank-loads of water trucks spraying down dirt each and every day. We live in a desert, but yet we try to limit the dust at the cost of depleting the lake water, which is insane.
