Credited from: THEHILL

  • The lake has lost over 15 billion cubic yards of water in the past 30 years and is now receding at a rate of 4 inches per year.
  • The study proposes a 35% reduction in human water consumption in the watershed, targeting significant cuts in alfalfa irrigation.
  • Compensation is suggested for affected farmers, with methods including crop shifting and leasing water rights to ensure sustainability.
