These Gigantic Lakes Are Disappearing or Have Already Dried Up Around the World

Something worrying is going on with the world’s greatest lakes.

Slowly but surely, some of them rapidly vanish or have already almost completely disappeared.

10 large lakes that have disappeared or are rapidly vanishing around the globe.

Today, water around the globe is disappearing faster than ever. Blue gold is privatized, sold and bought by huge corporations that only think about making always more money. Meanwhile, the large water reserves, such as huge lakes, are going extinct. Here we present 10 very large water bodies that have already dried up, or are rapidly disappearing around the world.

1. Owens Lake, U.S.

The unquenchable thirst of Los Angeles is to blame for the dust bowl now known as Owens Valley.

Before drying up in 1926, Owens Lake covered about 108 square miles in California near the border with Nevada.

But in 1913, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power diverted the Owens River into the LA Aqueduct.

Yes, I was just reading an article on a big lake that dried up and it's not even listed at the article. This is occurring and an important article.

Access to potable water and the loss of sources of fresh water is a real environmental concern, rather than the phoney "climate change"...especially in Asia and Africa
Water table depletion is a related issue...especially in the US

The linked article is ok, except the Great Lakes have returned to their previous levels.

Seems like at least 6 or so of these "disappearing lakes" have become that way because the rivers that feed them have been dammed upstream, or the waters diverted away for some reason or other.

These aren't the consequences of "climate change" or other ecological factors.
They're the direct result of human actions.
