Can't live in a desert and use water to wash cars, water the lawn and other non-survival things if it doesn't rain frequently. Read an article 20 years ago that said this would happen. People were moving to the dry climates for better health away from the pollen, mold, allergies etc. Then planted grass, trees and shrubs, watered the hell out of them and created the pollen, mold and allergies and a soon to be dry lake. Duh! Soon they will start pumping water from more inland lakes and create the problem all over again. They are already pumping water from the ocean to de-salinization plant's but cannot do it fast enough. Then the salt is dumped back in the ocean and causing the sea life to go wacko and die.

About 10-12 years ago I went to this meeting at a hunting ranch in New Mexico. There were maybe half a dozen people there, and it was to present technologies to the billionaire land owner that was looking for solutions to 2 problems.....carcass disposal for their huge cattle operation and water shortage for their cattle operation. They used to use a river that was now completely gone. I don't even remember how or why I got there, but it was an amazing trip to pristine land. I was there to present my Aquamation technology which ironically is a water based cremation process.....and the other guy there was presenting a water pipeline that would pump water from areas of the country that have too much water to other areas like this that had a shortage. The presentation was impressive, the pipeline was impressive. Obviously there were a lot more details and hoops to jump through to get a pipeline run across the country, but if it was oil it may have had a chance....until now of course.
I think you guys nailed it.....water consumption is through the roof and not much is being done to cut back.

that lake was never meant to supply what it supplies today. there is dry lake/rivers with ships stuck all over the world. so its nothing new the word changes with or with out human interference. everything has a cause and effect good and bad. very unfortunate with the situation.
