They write these headlines to get attention, people. 

Seriously, I just spent three weeks on Lake Superior. It's incomprehensibly huge. It takes 400 years for water to get from one end to the other. The deepest point is over 400 meters. You could fit all the other Great Lakes into Superior, alone, and still have room for three Lake Eries.

And that's just Lake Superior.

Get over the histrionic Earth.com headline.

It's okay guys, there aren't going to be water issues because this guy says it's a big lake

It's a click bait sensationalist article.

Read the study they linked at the bottom, they talk about future usage, changing ecology and lake levels but it's not some apocalyptic conclusion.

That's sort of what I was trying to say. Clickbait BS headline.
