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

Ever is a long time. We have limited records compared to ever. What is really normal over the long term? This is the lowest since 1936 when Hoover Dam impounded the lake. Meade could fill up but that would break water rights laws. They are bound to maintain a minimum flow in the Colorado River, however that may be decreased by 4.4 % this year according to reports. Too many people in an area that can't support it.
