Texas Levels
Out of all these lakes / reservoirs I count only 5 being at level or slightly above. Texas and the west / mid west / plains, are all in need of rain bad. Pic shows drought affected ares:

My home reservoir Blue Mesa Reservoir, largest body of water in Colorado (only 9000 acres) Sixty miles west of the Continental Divide is over 70 vertical feet down from full pool. The second lowest it has ever been since the dam was built in 63.
Right now we are started on a real crappy snow year if we don't get ALOT of snow soon We won't have much boating here. Or irrigation water.

That's an incredible drop; how do your launch ramps and marinas cope with that? Since the levels of the great lakes don't typically change that much, and also due to the rough water on the lakes, most marinas and launch ramps are located in the shallower protected bays, inlets, etc. Because of that, if the water levels drop more than a couple feet, many of those areas can become completely cutoff.

One of the great benefits of LOTO is that it will typically be very close to "normal" pool year around, each and every year.
When I travel around and see some lakes I shake my head in disbelief. If there is only so much water on this earth, and it doesn't go away, and the polar ice is melting, then where in the fock is it?
Didn't Al Gore say that New York would be underwater by now?

And didn't al gore buy an ocean front property...right after spewing all this nonsense about ocean levels rising due to polar ice melts...complete crap, but he raked it in.
We had drought this past summer as well- river's and lakes all low but 3 yrs ago we had record snowfall amounts... so who knows
