The system moves water around and uses it to water the courses so the lakes go up and down a lot. I don't believe they can fill it and use it at the same time. Just wait, it will be back up tomorrow.

Take a look at the maps (Water systems) and you can see they can move water a long way. Quite the incredible system.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
