      Top ten US cities running out of water. All ten are in California. Bakersfield at the highest risk.

      ThinkstockAfter multiple unusually dry years across the western, southern and central United States, more than 80% of California is now in a state of extreme or exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. An average of nearly 90% of Bakersfield, Calif., has been in a state of exceptional drought over the first seven months […]

          I need to install that "first flush diverter" thing to keep the bird crap out. That is a good idea.

              Those pics don't really show the effects of the drought unless your concern is recreational boating.

                Or you rely on the water from the reservoirs.

                Things are getting very scary for California.

                  Even then they don't really show the effects, just a lower reserve. Show some pics of dried out crops that are usually fed from those specific reservoirs, that would be an effect unrelated to recreational boating. I think PAC had mentioned that his lawn is brown, that would be an effect. A pic of a lower reserve could be problematic but we would need to know more first.

                    and it was just a bunch of pics of the same reservoir, with 2 shots right at the beginning of Folsom Lake. Pretty lame.

                      I agree. Until I see a picture of PAC's browning lawn, I'm withholding judgement.

                        At least it is an effect! Show me real effects of droughts, not the plight of the recreational wakeboarder.

                          Since I am familiar with that lake and have done some water skiing there, I appreciate your sharing of these pictures.

                          I hope those who are trying to prove their smart ass credentials, don't dissuade you from posting other interesting things.

                              It's punishment enough to have to live in Orville. And to not have the lake for the weekend....that's more than any person should have to endure.
