man this whole thing sucks a ****. water doesn't disappear. just let us close the damn for a freaking day, we would retain billions of gallons of water. i dont know, i've been trying to listen to the news and the one thing that i have pulled out of it is that its not really a human problem... we are in a drought. period. yes the core took too much water but the main issue is the drought. so as long as we stay fairly proactive and just wait for the rain, it will all go away. most of the blaming is just us trying to rationalize the weather. its never the weather right?
