“... Several things stand out:
1) the massive flow of the mighty Mississippi and Columbia River systems
2) the paucity of major rivers in the western US, especially the southwestern US, where the only major rivers are the seriously over-tapped Colorado and Rio Grande Rivers
3) the local importance of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers in California, which serve the state’s cities and agricultural regions…”

Hydrological limits - Living Beyond Our Means
Conflicts over water have risen sharplyEra of ‘global water bankruptcy’ is here, UN report says
"Overuse and pollution must end urgently as no one knows when whole system might collapse, says expert."“This report tells an uncomfortable truth: many critical water systems are already bankrupt,” said Madani, of the UN University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health. “It’s extremely urgent [because] no one knows exactly when the whole system would collapse.”
"Humanity was also slashing the amount of water available by destroying natural stores, such as wetlands, and polluting waterways. Wetlands equal in size to the entire European Union had been erased in the past five decades, the report said."
"Dr Jonathan Paul, at Royal Holloway, University of London, said: “The report lays bare humankind’s mistreatment of water [which] threatens the viability of ‘the water cycle’ as a concept."

A couple shots from Lake Mead (Mud) this week.
The first one is Duke checking out where the water used to be in Boulder Harbor. That's the high and dry launch ramp in the distance. Believe it or not, there was a whole marina in this basin decades ago. The lake is currently sitting 171' below full level, which last occurred in '83.
The second shot is a line of boats/parts that were recivered from in or around the lake.

"During [the last] 30 years, #freshwater lakes collectively lost an average of 600 cubic kilometers of #water storage annually – 17 times the volume of Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States.
The cause is a combination of human-caused #overuse and unprecedented shifts in the #climate, the researchers found. "

The world’s largest #lakes are shrinking dramatically and scientists say they have figured out why
These significant bodies of water include the Colorado River’s #LakeMead, which has receded sharply amid a #megadrought and decades of #overuse.

The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented, but the extent of change – and the reasons behind it – have been less thoroughly examined, said Fangfang Yao, the study’s lead author and a visiting scholar at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes and reservoirs, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage.
Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades.
The results were “staggering,” the report authors said.
They found that 53% of the lakes and reservoirs had lost significant amounts of water, with a net decline of around 22 billion metric tons a year – an amount the report authors compared to the volume of 17 Lake Meads.
More than half of the net loss of water volume in natural lakes can be attributed to human activities and climate change, the report found.
The report found losses in lake water storage everywhere, including in the humid #tropics and the cold Arctic. This suggests “drying trends worldwide are more extensive than previously thought,” Yao said.Different lakes were affected by different drivers.
#Unsustainable water consumption is the predominant reason behind the shriveling of the #AralSea in Uzbekistan and California’s #SaltonSea, while changes in rainfall and runoff have driven the decline of the #GreatSaltLake, the report found.
In the #Arctic, lakes have been shrinking due to a combination of changes in temperature, precipitation, evaporation and runoff.
“Many of the human and climate change footprints on lake water losses were previously unknown,” Yao said, “such as the desiccations of #LakeGoodEZareh in Afghanistan and #LakeMarChiquita in Argentina."
