Drying Lake Mead: Dramatic visual of how the water crisis out west has gone out of control in just under 40 years…

We all read the articles about the water issue out west, but this is a pretty dramatic visual of just how bad it gotten in just under 40 years.

There is no evidence to suggest that there is any way to reverse course as parts of the US remain in a decade long drought.
