@mbodey: People that lives in LA or Vegas usually are near buildings, not a bare desert.

If I were in a desert, a swimming pool might be ok, but a water fountain would probably be better. [I wouldn't wanna drink pool water, would you?]

@D.LYTE: We are legion!

@92BuickLeSabre: Not true dear friend. Summers are scorching, lasting, not that strangely, 3 months. Yes, its cold in the winter, but you look forward to snow when you have a weeks worth of supra 100 degree weather.

@zenpoet: Not that hard when it's only warm enough to go outside one week a year.

Does the roof somehow impede evaporation?

A pool in the middle of a desert with extra wind getting blown over it, is really gonna have a hard time staying full.

Here in beautiful South Dakota, we have enough wind to supply everyone's pool with energy!

@ideaman2020: Better than a pool in the middle of a glacier. If I was stuck in the desert, I'd love a wind shade powered pool.

Why would someone put a pool in the middle of a desert?
