Will this be a repeat of Atlanta? Nobody notices that shit has hit the fan until it's too late and everyone sits around praying that it rains?
"LAS VEGAS -- If you have been to Lake Mead, you can visibly see how low the water supply is getting. Conditions have now pushed the federal government to meet with western states to plan the water future.
The drought has surged on for about 11 years, but the Southern Nevada Water Authority says the state has plans in place that will allow homes and lawns to continue to exist.
"When we hit 1,025 (feet), we will have stopped generating electricity. When we hit 1,025, the amount of water left in Lake Mead is barely enough to meet a single year's allocation," said Pat Mulroy with the SNWA.
Right now, the lake level is at 1,100 feet and the water authority has managed to store, lease, or buy enough water to keep things running smoothly even if Lake Mead was to drop below 1,025 feet."

Yup, looks like they wont make the "conserve water!" call until it's too late.
