    It just didn’t happen over night. What is the government in those states doing about it?

    And they could take years to fill back up if things do change for the better.

    I believe "we" (all of us) have been drying out for a long, long time. Here in Richmond, VA, one of our secondary interstates crosses the James River, west of the city. Looking at the topography at the road turns to bridge, it is pretty obvious that the river was easily 3-4 times wider at some point. Other rivers across the U.S. have similar. What I don't know it it is a 1000 or 1 million years in the making, but I think we are in drying up phase of, at least this region of the planet. Yep, we may be doomed. But I believe we will do ourselves in before mother nature gets us all.

    Read a article about Lake Mead yesterday and a wateroligist said this has been coming for years,you don’t lose Statue of Liberty depth in just a few months. Lake Oroville might not be able to produce Dam power in the next few months.

    And yet the sea levels are rising.


    We are in a draught in Minnesota right now and that's bad for us.

    Talked to my brother last night. He said it's been 118F for days and days where he lives, in Ridgecrest, CA. He says he hasn't even been running his swamp cooler. I have been running our portable A/C here in the Seattle area.

    We are in a bad drought here too.. the water levels at about what we would typically see in mid-late summer. I was trout fishing this one river and I was standing on some slate in the middle of the creek that was about shin deep before it drops off to 10-12’. in the spring you couldn’t walk out 1/4 of the way because the water was so high. Haven’t been able to do that in years

    Building towns in deserts and pretending like they are in the Midwest with the way they use water is probably not the best idea.

    Same in Georgian Bay…from the reports I read. Where does 2 feet of water go over the winter? Most of the Great Lakes iced over this past winter.

    Still surprised that the all time high for Vegas is only 117. Heck I live on the coast and we hit 119 a couple years ago.

    Why don't they pipe over the rain run-off from tropical storms around the gulf and rainy seasons in CA?

    I have fished south cove ( the mouth of the Grand Canyon) where the river turns into a lake for the last 55 years. They just closed the ramp and I doubt it ever opens again!! There was a big dozer working on the ramp last week and he got too close to the EDGE “ tractor disappeared” worker swam back to the shore.

    They probably don't make a pump big enough and the costs would be astronomical
