Lake Powell in Utah is down more than 140 feet. So is Lake Mead in Nevada. They're struggling to maintain flow to the generators that supply power to the entire SW US.

Wonder what that giant concrete block with the huge cabled attached is for in the third picture.

We had lakes that looked like that after our droughts in ‘09 and ‘11. It was pretty amazing to see how fast they filled up after some good rain.

Well we do not have to worry about the dam failing like just a couple years ago. Now would be the time to do some maintenance on it. With Newscum as Goobonor it will never happen.
They are telling everyone to conserve Power , Water and Gas all the time they are letting Illegals flood the State and soon they will be bringing in Refugees. Even thou we do not have water and Power to support them.

If it doesn't rain much this winter, we're fugged. I have a well that is adjacent to a major river so I'm good to go. But most are in deep if the drought keeps up. People across the nation are gonna find out just how much food came from California

Looks like some Mad Max action going on down there.
All those house boats going to be piled up on one another like a bunch of hippos at the last waning water hole.
Bunch of old folks gonna be scratching their heads wondering how their puddle dried up....in the desert.

For miles and miles beyond that green suspension bridge is a burned out forest from last years North Complex Fire. The current Dixie Fire is northeast of there burning many more miles of forest and mountain communities. But hey, they saved Lake Tahoe. (sarc) Once got buzzed by two fighter jets while crossing that bridge. Came out of nowhere, scared the crap out of me.

The Texas panhandle's main lake, Lake Meredith is only a little over 1/3 capacity. Water is getting to be a huge issue. We have plenty of water in this country if we would just move it around. Last time I suggested that on this site the idea was shouted down. Folks were worried about Zebra Mussels and German carp traveling over the divide with the water.

Amazing how two years ago, the spillway at Oroville dang near was overtopped, and WAS partly blown out.

When I was a kid (early to mid 1970s), this was a common scene across CA. Shasta, Oroville, Hetch Hetchy...there were droughts all the time and this is what the reservoirs looked like. Shasta was even worse in the mid 70s.
So when folks say it's unprecedent and it's clear evidence that global warming is going to destroy us, I have a hard time believing it. California's population has doubled since the early 70s yet the reservoirs still look about the same during drought years. Not a very good fact to confront the climate change alarmists with.
Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.
