My workmate predicted that in the next ten years, Lake Mead will be dried up.

Seems reasonable...

This is problem because Lake Mead provides water to southern California, Nevada and Arizona

[c=002673]my question is: [/c]why isn't someone converting ocean water into fresh water? I can't imagine it's that hard to distill salt water.

It's actually happening in California. San Diego has a working desalination plant and there plans in the works for others.

Problem actually is the cosstal estuaries for wild life. Less water means those estuaries will have less and effect them greatly.

Actually the whole dam is effecting many coastal estuaries more than coast residents.

Lake Mead really shouldn't be there to begin with. 🤷🏻‍♂️
