This means less water will be portioned out to some states in the 2022 water year. As of August 22, 2021, Lake Mead was filled to just 35 percent of its capacity. The lowest in 86 years.

I can find more that that has different opinion.
"Wasting" water... always wondered why that was even a phrase. You can't "waste" water. It doesn't disappear, it stays in the water cycle. Same amount of water on the planet today as there was yesterday. We just need to get the water to where it is needed, from where there too much of it. That means an all-of-the-above strategy. Efficient use, pipelines, dams for flood control and storage. But we can't have that now can we? Might drown a snail.
