This weekend I kayaked on Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The water levels are also super low. When you look at the lines where the water levels used to be it’s unbelievable how much it has shrunk. Unless something fundamentally changes the West is in serious trouble between droughts and fires.

I wonder if there will be massive infrastructure projects to pump water from areas with abundant water. If that’s even possible. Pretty much similar to the way Hoover Dam was built to make living out in the desert feasible.
