Well, we have tons of lakes too. But our main water source is our aquifer. There must be some reason why they don't consider those lakes as viable sources. All I can think of is that a lot of the real bodies of water, the ones that are spring fed, come from THAT aquifer for us. We get a lot of rain over a years time too, but I guess the drought months make it so that the aquifer will never catch up. I remember watching something about it once, and they showed divers going into the aquifer source and looking around and it was scary, the changes they saw.
