IMHO "boaters" on Lake Mead are fools who should have seen this all coming a decade or more ago. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence could see that with the massive increase in population, Lake Mead (and Lake Powell) were going to massively shrink. There should never have been any "boating" allowed on these lakes. Seems like certain populations are going to start having to deal with hard restrictions on their lives. Maybe mankind can no longer falsely redistribute Mother Nature's resources to serve our ever increasing population.
