I doubt it.

It's what happens when you try to keep a man-made lake full of water in the desert, while drawing out way more water than the arid environment can put back in.

In the 1980's, when Lake Mead was really full, the Las Vegas metro area had a population between 450,000-700,000 people. Today it's close to 3 million.

And that's only the Vegas area. California, Arizona etc will have also seen huge increases in population too. They've completely overstressed the water supply.

Clown world retards in government aren't helping it any. Between mismanagement and letting in millions of illegals, the southwest's water supply is fucked.

You have to wonder. In California almost every lake is low yet Folsom lake is near 80%. It’s lake management not rainfall or lack of.

I hear about it a dozen times a day for months but never hear the reason for it discussed at all.
A quick 2 second mention of drought or low run off and that’s it.
Has any county connected to the 40million people that lake feeds even put out restrictions or rations yet?

There are 40 million total in CA and that is not the only reservoir. We have many up north that are dry as fuck because of these dicks.

Always remembered hearing about how the great Great Depression dust bowl was man made due to farms being advised to strip their top soil for some reason. But it’s always discussed as some act of god that man couldn’t possibly have done.
Can’t even imagine the scale of fucking shit storm they can create now with the tools 5ey have and scenarios they’ve created.
From wether to illness, to agriculture to energy.

They've literally just dumped water out in previous years, and maybe they still are; but from what I heard, this past year, they've been running turbines at the dam at pretty high capacity, to offset having shut down some proper generator plants. This takes flowing water, and it is flowing on out to the sea...

That's the story I was told, and I'm not sure what or who to believe anymore, so it's a story. It sounds kind of plausible, and it also sounds kind of stupid, with a chance of that ever-present california corruption.

The Colorado river doesn't reach the sea anymore, hasn't in many years. Hardly any water even reaches Mexico.

Yeah, well. That's what they get for sending us all those illegal aliens and shit.

Manufactured drought. Lookup when Mexican farmers sued VW fo stopping the rain in Mexico by using a hail cannon.
Drought is being manufactured to get Great Lakes water
