And as was reported on the BBC News, *that* wasn't down to "global 
warming". It was *mainly* due to the water being increasingly used for 
irrigation, & heavy industry which uses *huge* quantities of water. Over 
49 years, it's bound to take its toll. Unless the oil companies bribed 
the BBC to say that.
