Time to consider desalinization.

Your water situation must be worrying. Excellent shot of the current situation.

Wow, how worrying, great documentary image.

An unsettling sight. I can see more desalination plants in our future.

This certainly won't help the water situation, but best for the future.

Who drains a reservoir during a drought?

Pierre Martin		30-Aug-2021 10:35
not the best situation in a drought period and out of service for ten years, wow!

Steven Jusczyk		30-Aug-2021 05:57
Not the best planning, a scary sight.

What will they do for needed water?

A sign of the times in the west, Bryan. We have half the rain as normal.
