Lake Mead At Historic Low, Expect Water Shortages

The nation's largest reservoir is at only 37% of its capacity. That water flows downstream to customers in Nevada, Arizona and California, all of which face potential delivery cutbacks.

This will lead to much higher produce costs and possibly shortages nation wide and eventually drinking water shortages in Arizona, Nevada, and California as well as higher electrical costs from lowered or lost generation capabilities.

Some customers are frantically drilling expensive wells to tap already shrinking aquifers as a short term bandaid, but if the drought continues that cannot solve the shortages...just ask the farmers in California's Central valley, also under extreme drought conditions and losing water sources rapidly. Their aquifers have been so over tapped that the entire valley is sinking while wells run dry.
