Meade could fill up but that would break water rights laws
Lots of posters are blaming "too many people" but it's actually California agriculture that is the problem. For instance, California is the world's largest producer of almonds. It takes a gallon of water to produce a single almond. I love them and have a 3lb bag in my desk as I type, but they are incredibly inefficient and wasteful to grow.

Do the agriculture needs not continue to grow because of the growing population?
If there weren’t 40 million people needing drinking water in the middle of deserts, there would be plenty for agriculture.

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

This happened a couple years back too. It eventually filled back up.
Cyclical Weather. Nothing else but that.

Fair enough 
I was just pointing out that agriculture in that region is using more water than the population.

Look at the bright side: lots of missing person cases will now be solved.

The result of too many people living in a desert...nothing more, nothing less.

No need to pray, just get Elizabeth Warren to do a rain dance.

Isn't this a lake formed via a Dam? Can you imagine what would happen to the water level when the eco nazis start attacking the dam?

Hyperbole.
Cali/Vegas is just sucking it up.

Well it is a dessert. Apparently selling water when in a drought doesn’t work out so well.

Would also be a great time to clean up the trash exposed. That sunken boat, etc.

It lasted a long time. What changed last year?
Major John Powell, the man who Lake Powell is named after did not want to build any reservoirs in the desert for this reason. He thought that the west shouldn't even be settled and would never make decent farmland. It is ironioc that they named the lake after him. The west, that feeds the Colorado river, has been seeing for the last 75 years historic levels of rain and snow. This isn't much by most places standards, but was a lot in a historical context. Over the last five years the percipitation has started to get to what was typical for the reagion. Add the decrease to historic water norms with the influx of people and farming and this is what we get. All of this was predicted by Major Powell.

I would suggest putting a gay black female or an old white tranny with crazy color hair in charge of fixing this issue.

Domestic household water use we plan for 160 gallons per person per day. That is drinking water, flushing the john, showers, washing clothes, water the lawn. Everything. Actual is about 100 gallons per day on average. California has tried to knock this down to 48 GPD but uses a lot of gray water for lawns etc. 39.35 million people live in California.
Agriculture has always been big. The number of farms hasn't increased it has decreased as urbanization spreads. 3.4 million acres have been lost to urbanization. cropland loss
Too many people.
