    Wikipedia has a page called “List of drying lakes”:
    “A number of natural lakes throughout the world are drying or completely dry due to irrigation or urban use diverting inflow”

    “When everyone is rowing in the same direction, we can save this Lake” I really don’t think they can save that lake. Increased evapotranspiration hits everywhere: farms, urban areas, mountains, lakes. The ski resorts will need water (to make snow). The farms will need more water, because the soil and vegetation are having so much more of it sucked out of them by the warmed atmosphere. Likewise the cities. So it will come down to ‘save the farm or save the lake’. I guess we’ll see.
