http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/may/23/drought-stricken-california-loses-50m-gallons-water-vandals-dam

An inflatable dam in drought-stricken California was damaged on Thursday, causing the loss of nearly 50,000,000 gallons (190m litres) of water.

Police said vandals caused “irreversible damage” to the inflatable dam in Fremont, a city in the San Francisco Bay Area. The vandalism caused water meant for local residents to instead flow into San Francisco bay.

The Alameda County water district said the lost water could have supplied 500 homes for an entire year.


If the water situation gets more Dire ....people will be executed for loss of water....look at Mad Max ....in the future
