  Lake mead is being drained from the other direction into Utah and you’d have known that before commenting if you’d actually looked that shit up before going to say something that spectacularly unaware of what’s going on.

  Vegas actually net zeros their allotment of the water share every year, as far as Mead is considered, Vegas almost doesn’t exist.

    the whole “net-zero allotment of water shares” bit is about as accurate as “flint water is within regulation guidelines of lead”

    Vegas got it’s “net zero” by appropriating the water shares of surrounding regions via the magic of lobbying
