Megadrought In Western U.S. Pushing Lake Meade To 1st Water Shortage

[alexandercrush]

I guess living in deserts wasn’t the best idea with global warming.

[enochfinch]

On the upside: Lake-side properties have never been cheaper.

Promising an abundance of water for eight years in the Southwest is a seriously bad joke. Wouldn't expect anything less from msm.

Watched my neighbor water his lawn and concrete for 8 hours today in 115 degree heat. Numb nuts like these people should not live in Phoenix.

If Keystone Pipeline was Approved, Canada could have supplied water to US.

I have articles and pitches of 2014 was the worst drought and water level drop to1075 feet

"In this pic behind me u can see how its gone down over the last 8 yrs" no i cant bc its the SAME pic the whole time.

[Mrkevin]

THE SAME WAY THE usa WAS BUILDING A FUEL LINE FROM CANADA TO THE usa BUILD A WATER LINE FROM THE EAST COAST TO THE WEST COAST?WOW!!!

[tightlines]

Give us a update at the end of this summer

[TheLeonidas]

8 years? Just like they said a few months ago the water shortage will come next year.

[billrussell]

instead of oil pipelines, why not water lines from the miss. river when it floods?

[cultureal]

Is it time to move out of Arizona and Nevada desert yet, folks?

Now that the lake is getting so low, it's the PERFECT Opportunity to gently remove the B-29 "Beetle Bomb" and get it into the hands of the museum Restoration team, there are 2 teams ready to go. The parks Dept was hoarding it stating they wanted to keep it as a tourist attraction, meanwhile it deteriorates. This bomber is famous, has a unique history and needs to be restored to her full glory for ALL to enjoy, Not just the ones who are certified to dive to 160 feet. Now it's only 30 feet, Get it Out Of There!!!

Gee, I guess Tempe is really glad they built that lovely river walk. And the new canal system around Mesa with the bike trails. I think It might have been wiser to to use underground piping for irrigation to prevent evaporation and perhaps not make a man made river in town for appearances. Hope they are only using re-claimed water for all the golf courses.

I live in BC where we have nothing but water, perhaps we could work something out lol.

[MrDXRamirez]

Lake Meade is Public Land, a result of the Hoover Dam.
Water constitutes soil making all bodies of water, --- land.
But that's another point.

Enough water to last 8 years...at the current level...I doubt it.
The cities depending on this water will become abandoned in a shorter time under the current levels of water consumption and demand.

The government needs to hire the native Americans to do rain dances in the southwest. I’m serious!, !!!!

[ChiefCedricJohnson]

Proverbs 23:23
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

[keyshield]

Repent and pray for rain God is real and he answers pray only believe!!

H.A.R.P. Use it for filling some resavoirs.
