Running dry and other depressing stuff on Vegas

Field Notes From a Mirage » CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names:

 "On the plane from Portland, I sat next to an engineer who has been working for the last decade at Lake Mead. The reservoir is shriveling, drying up before our eyes. The water level drops each year, leaving a baleful white stain on the walls of Black Canyon. His company’s job is to paint the freshly exposed bone-white walls of the canyon back to their accustomed color, so as not to frighten the tourists."
