US government planning dramatic Colorado River water cuts due to drought, overuse

There is a drought. Period. You are conflating drought with usage.

And yet, you still refuse to provide any actual data to show that rainfall has decreased. You just present this same image over and over as if it means a damned thing.

The child is ignoring post #98 LINK made by a PHD in Atmosphere Sciences that destroys the dishonest climate cultist claims.

It is the increasing OUTFLOW of water from the reservoir that is dominant cause of its decline.

Notice he keeps claiming ad nauseum that the amount of precipitation is lower. Yet is completely unable to actually provide any evidence at all. And posts a chart that has not a damned thing to do with rainfall at all. Meanwhile his actual reference actually does have a chart showing rainfall, and even it says he is wrong.

But it is all about the water being pulled out of the system. The last time Lake Mead was full was back in 1983, and as can be clearly seen in the chart that was at the start of almost a decade of extremely high rainfalls. And there was another between roughly 2012-2018, which still had declining water levels even though rainfall was well above normal.

And I know that 2022-2023 was not all that long ago. Those years saw some pretty extensive flooding even closing major highways because they were inundated with water. And many areas were flooded because the levees broke. Over 180 square miles of Tulare Lake returned. So it is not surprising he can not back up his claim of decreased precipitation, and instead tries a game of smoke and mirrors to deflect from the real issue.

That is the problem when you shove millions of people in a desert with little water. Like locusts they will drain all the water they can from as far away as they can, and not care what they are doing to the environment.

Tulare Lake? That isn't even close to the Colorado River watershed--you're way off 'shroom.
