This image depicting a years’ worth of Colorado River water use, from an emailer I got from the Southern Nevada Water Authority:
Vegas: not our fault
Vegas: Hey, it’s not our fault Lake Mead is dropping!

A few thoughts from John Fleck, a writer of journalism and other things, living in New Mexico
I wonder how many people each of those buckets represents, approximately.
Although even that is misleading, since most of the water has to go to agriculture, and the food is then consumed in other states.
Or to put it another way, how dependent is Vegas on California for food?
