what is it you need from me as a source? The fact is most of the mumbo jumbo you pop up on the message board is just that, mumbo jumbo. I've told you that over and over. Now what is it you need to see from me? Why Lake Mead is low on water? Dude, it simple, go back to the number of people who used the lake when it was created and look today. I don't need a link, you need to use your stupid head and realize that adding thousands upon thousands of people migrated to the area to use that water therefore, the lake will most likely loose water. Doh, isn't that what is happening? It has very little to do with some drought. Again, I don't need a link to do the math.Now JC, you flap-yap without ever showing your sources of information. There are many, many sources for information concerning the water shortages in the US.

And the country's water risk is a lot worse than most assessments suggest, according to a recent study from the Columbia University Water Center.
Taking into account past patterns of drought and water use, the Columbia study reveals that several major metro areas, including New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, are at high risk for water scarcity, along with the Great Plains agricultural belt extending from North and South Dakota down to North Texas.

Now why don't you post how that is not a problem?
It has everything to do with the drought AND the number of people using it. The reduction in the water level at lakes and reservoirs in the west is caused by both, but the drought has made it far worse than it ever could be by the number of people using it alone. And it will get a lot worse before it gets better, if ever.
