re: The U.S.'s largest reservoir, Lake Mead, is literally drying up (pictures)

What sucks is that this was totally unforeseeable. I just cannot believe that moving 30-40,000,000 people into a desert and then having them all use water from a single river would go poorly.

That’s exactly what Lake Mead was designed to do. We build reservoirs because we know droughts are coming and we want to have water to get through droughts. In 2018 that area was crushed by excessive rainfall and snow. The reason we are having water problems is because in California, for example, no new reservoirs have been built since the state’s population was 24 million. It is now 40 million! If Cali had increased their reservoirs 41%, as their population did, this would not be a crisis. However, that would have endangered some microscopic snail, or something.

The problem is farming and irrigation practices where we have turned desert into farmland through irrigation.
Also it’s a desert it was never meant to have cities like Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

CA refuses to create more so this is the result.
Not surprising with the influx of millions of illegals into the SW

Ya wanna know why?
A huge part is that the idiots on commie-fornia have been intentionally draining their reservoirs into the sea.
Katy Grimes has been writing about this extensively over the last few years in the California Globe.
Desalination plants would go a long way to solve many of CAs water issues.
I think there are several desalination plants along the coast of CA already in operation.
One was just voted down around the San Diego area that was being 'studied' of 20 years.
Someone(s) made lots of money off of that one, eh?
They talk about the 'brine' excess but the Israeli's have come up with a system that takes care of that.
Even pretty-boy Newsome has been pushing desalination plants for the last few years.

Isn’t California the drought you’re talking about?

This is what happens when people decide to live in a frickING DESERT!
No sane person can bitch about the Somalis and Ethiopians (cue Sam Kinison), and then act surprised when people run out of water in an environment that could support (at best) a quarter of the current population.
No sympathy whatsoever.

They need to get Elizabeth Warren out there fast to do a rain dance.

Just trying to figure out here that if the glaciers are melting at record pace and putting more water into the oceans then how come we're not seeing more weather systems coming in from the oceans and dumping rain on land?

It's their own stupidity.
They refuse to build desal plants.

Maybe they can ask God for a little more rain, and then manipulate 100 little kids to go transgender as an offering... God loves it when you do that.

Not good, but wasn't it a man made lake? Still no bueno, but maybe that area just wasn't meant to have substantial bodies of water

Absolutely devastating pictures! The West is experiencing the worst drought in our nation's history. I've never ever seen anything like this before.
Bigger problem is that demand for water in places where people shouldn't be living has skyrocketed. Las Vegas, Phoenix, and much of the LA Basin owes its existence to Lake Mead. And those areas have sprawled like crazy in the last 20 -30 years.
We'd need to find more water sources to handle the demand in those growing cities.

Did Putin do it? Maybe white supremacy is to blame.

Get a grip. It’s the desert. Droughts come and go throughout time.
