   You need to recheck the data … up 28 feet from 2010 to 2012 … then down 10 feet in last year, and, more worrisome, Lake Powell inflows are trending at historic lows, reservoir is half full, and Lake Meade is below half full … half empty … you decide … but trend line is awful, and Las Vegas may dry out in two to three years, unless the sky remembers how to make rain over the DESERT southwest … no matter though, just sit back and breathe in the Fukushima plutonium aerosols, and it won’t matter so much, anymore … jus’ sayin!

   What the heck? Now it shows 10 feet below last year. What a difference a day makes, I guess.

     Rate if discharge is is greater than rate of average inflow. That is what government agencies are best known for, SNAFU!

       If they “Fixed” the excess outflow problem they would recreate the 80s flooding situation again.
