More than half of the world's large lakes are drying up, study finds

Brother Edu found this today.

 Bahahahahaha!

Ask and ye shall receive.

Okay then.

 Isaiah 41:16-18


"Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in YHVH, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I YHVH will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water."

LONDON, May 18 (Reuters) - More than half of the world's large lakes and reservoirs have shrunk since the early 1990s, chiefly because of climate change, intensifying concerns about water for agriculture, hydropower and human consumption, a study published on Thursday found.

A team of international researchers reported that some of the world's most important freshwater sources - from the Caspian Sea between Europe and Asia to South America's Lake Titicaca - lost water at a cumulative rate of around 22 gigatonnes per year for nearly three decades. That's about 17 times the volume of Lake Mead, the United States' largest reservoir.

Fangfang Yao, a surface hydrologist at the University of Virginia who led the study in the journal Science, said 56% of the decline in natural lakes was driven by climate warming and human consumption, with warming "the larger share of that".

Climate scientists generally think that the world's arid areas will become drier under climate change, and wet areas will get wetter, but the study found significant water loss even in humid regions. "This should not be overlooked," Yao said.

Scientists assessed almost 2,000 large lakes using satellite measurements combined with climate and hydrological models.

My my, that terrible drought we are in. What ever are we to do?

I guess all we can do is pray for more - much more -water. We all need to pray for more water to end this terrible drought the world is in. A lot more.

 California's new "water" project.. the "Sites Reservoir"

They just love screaming drought.. these evil devils.. this project isn't for the good of the population, or the land.. it's so they can keep screaming drought! drought! drought! "breaks" ground apparently next year.. 2024.
