After seeing Medina Lake, we are really concerned about our drought.

San Antonio gets its drinking water form the Edward's Aquifer. 
The aquifer is something you hear about, but you don't ever physically see.

So, when we hear how low the water level has reached, we just can't grasp it's significance.

That is, until we took our new kayak to Lake Medina, just outside the city limits.

Three years ago, when we went there, the water level was too low to put in a motor boat form the county park's boat ramp. 
But, you could still picnic with some water at the shore…..
and even put in your kayak if you wanted.

But, this is what we saw this weekend:

All the white you see should covered by water!
Now…..It is blocks away form the road's edge!
Wow.

And here's the lake closer to the damn:

The water should reach to the top of the exposed white rock!
Even at the deepest part, the grasses from the lake's floor are higher than the current water level.

Seeing THAT really makes us concerned about this drought in the Southwest!
