How Low will Elephant Butte Lake go?....

[nmpeter]

So low that the marina operators are telling slip owners they need to move their boats out by July 5th. The marinas will be shut down and moved before the water level drops to a 10 year low

ÔÇ£The Butte is 11% full, which's down from 26% last year. Twenty years ago, the lake was almost full.ÔÇØ YIKES, that's crazy low!

Projected levels after irrigation releases this year:

3%

This year will be the first since I moved to the butte in 2008 that the marina sent a letter to all slip holders to get their boats off the lake before July 5th

We need a monsoon of biblical proportions or a moratorium on new homes being built up north

Or maybe they could repurpose keystone to bring water from Canada?

Lake Meade is in some serious trouble too

Btw, farmers almanac predicted this....
