How do they grow thick rows of tall trees on every single street? you may ask. Through a mountain-top dam that acts as a reservoir and sends water through a citywide network of canals. Some might see genius. But these American eyes see "lawsuit!"

Making it work: The next level
We arrived in Mendoza the other day, which is the heart of wine country. Now lined with sycamores and surrounded by vineyards, Mendoza was originally a desert and receives less than 6 inches of rain a year!

As a water resources/ water quality professional I would like to know just how clean that water is? Did you catch anyone washing their laundry? See any dead bodies floating by? Any "what the heck do you think THAT was?" solids? Presumably this water is for irrigation purposes, because I shudder to think about the rigorous (not) treatment processes this water probably does not go through.
