Sending our rainwater to Dallas

A year ago I wrote about the lack of water in Lake Ray Hubbard near Dallas. The water levels were at 70% of capacity at that time, they are now down to 58% - and the effects on the landscape at the water's edge are even more dramatic. It's true that rainfall has been lower than average in the Dallas area over the last few years but the growth in population is the greater problem, putting an ever growing sponge into the diminishing pool. Are these just moorings ... or just more decks?
It's well known that Dallas's wastewater feeds, via the Trinity river, into Lake Livingston where we get a third of our drinking water from ... Isn't it about time we send back up some of what we has been passed down? They'd even pay for it I'm sure!
