I am an experienced supply chain professional and water in Arizona is a supply crisis that requires experience like I have, on the scale of magnitude that I have it. We have a 1.3 trillion gallon water shortage problem. I was a supply chain business analyst with Intel for 16 years including 2 years integrating Altera. I taught at the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University for 2 years full time from 2007-2009 and I am author of the technical text: Applications and Modeling for Supply Chain Management - which was written with the assistance of SAP Labs in Palo Alta, CA. I am experienced in the theory of constraints which my past and present employers use to minimize waste and maximize supplies and yields. I am also experienced in large-scale supply chain solution design and delivery and all the costs, administration and negotiations that go into such projects.
The federal government has ordered southwestern states to craft a plan to save 1.3 trillion gallons of water to prevent "dead pool" at Lakes Mead and Powell, which if not prevented will cut off 40% of the water supply to the 5.9 million residents of Central Arizona. This is an industrial scale problem that calls for industrial scale expertise, experience and solutions.
- Arizona's two most powerful approaches are: 1) use the CAWCD/CAP resources to raise water bills $7/month for 24 months to raise money for vouchers for Arizona farmers to use to convert to Drip Irrigation - this will save 680 billion gallons - it is the most powerful thing Arizona can do
- 2) evaporative prevention. Evaporative prevention is a "Hoover Dam", "Wonder of the World" scale solution - but Arizona has the money and it will work. Governor Ducey signed a bill in July authorizing $1.2 billion - Tom Buschatzke, director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources is preparing Arizona voters to spend $6 billion for desalination in Mexico. Before foreign desalination, Arizona and perhaps CAWCD should post an RFP (Request for Proposals) to private sector contractors for options to prevent evaporation on Lakes Mead and Pleasant and the CAP canal - this can generate 200 billion gallons per year, about 500 million gallons per day. These solutions secure Arizona's water future and satisfy Arizona's share of water reductions.
When most of Europe gave up on Byzantium and turned it's back on the falling empire, Longo inspired 700 men to follow him and help defend Constantinople in its last battle against the Ottoman army of Sultan Mehmed II in 1453. During the fighting the city survived under siege for 55 days but in the final few Longo was injured by a cannon or a crossbow bolt and was removed to the hospital. On his loss the defenders lost morale and only after did the Ottomans breach the walls and end a thousand-year-old empire.

As a professional I will not be intimidated by bureaucrats or specialists with respect to what can and can't be done and I will hold to the fire elected officials, bureaucrats, vendors and any other officials who attempt to frame the public conversation to a limited list of high-cost, low-yield solutions.
If RFPs prove me right: a second "Wonder of the World" adjacent to Hoover Dam, on Lake Mead, recovering 200 billion gallons of water a year.

Another that I just loved though was Attila by Ross Laidlaw - not as much for the namesake of the title as because it also tells the story of the remarkable Roman general who bested Attila, Flavius Aetius.
Too many people passed away during Covid. I have never experienced anything like it not even close. Many beloved elderly among them including my mom, but so many age peers too - the number is shocking. The boomers have retired, they've moved on. They left a vacuum of leadership behind. We're up. I hope we're up to it. I hope we understand the responsibility and I hope we'll rise to it.
