It shows a real problem for the west.  Most of the area that provides water 
for California, Nevada, and Arizona is in severe drought.  Recent court 
cases have ruled that more water need to be let flow though the 
Delta.  Southern California had less than 3 inches last year.  The west is 
a desert mo matter how many green lawns are planted.
