Also, look how much water western states sell to Mexico for agriculture. It’s huge.
We have X water. They have Y cheap workers. We both need XY goods.
Many of your groceries would probably be much more expensive if we didn't sell water to Mexico for agriculture.

The Great Salt Lake in the US state of Utah has shrunk by two-thirds since the 1980s because of climate change.
Climate change?
Gee, it couldn't have anything to do with the population in that area doubling in size, could it?
These climate change zealots really are imbeciles.

Due to the growing population, they have diverted more snowpack to the people and away from replenishing the lake levels, but Climate Change.

Thanks. So the uninhabitable area around the lake has shrunk, but the people who can live in the area has grown?
SELA also diverts a ton of water from the MS River, and the drainage is even worse.

Plenty of those cheap workers come across the border every day to work here.

Not my groceries. I buy extremely little from Mexico. Further, I buy (what I don't grow myself) almost all of my produce from farmers' markets so even higher grocery demand doesn't directly impact me.

Good luck trying to stop evaporation
There are actually a chemicals (WER) that don't mix with water and will rise to the surface. It reduces evaporation, its widely used.

Good for you.
News flash: You are not the norm (but you already knew that, so you can brag about it on an anonymous college football message board)

This lake has been drying up for millions of years. Did no one realize that without proper water distribution and restrictions that the lake would disappear altogether?
I've come to believe we have hotter drier summers because of a climatic shift. Currently we are in the third year of a La Niña pattern with dry winters and summers. It's bound to get wetter out there some day or maybe not.

I like this lake better in my neck of the woods in Utah. From last Saturday.
Here's Salt Lake from about 9000 feet up.
