Actually, I think most of the water around Reno isn't man made. Of course there are some spots that are, but in general, there are tons of lakes out here, mostly on the California side. Reno is about 8 hours north of Vegas and I think there is a big movement in Northern Nevada to keep the water we have up here from being piped down to the voracious, all consuming Vegas. I know much of the Truckee Meadows must get its water from Lake Tahoe or the Truckee River, as these are really the only large water sources around, aside from Pyramid Lake, and I don't think we can milk Pyramid because it is part of an Indian Reservation, but then again, I am not really sure. Water certainly is an issue out here and I think it is mostly dependant on how much snow we get in the winter. Yes, we get snow in the winter up here in Reno!

Gotta keep those Vegas fountains gushing, Phoenix lawns green, and L.A. pools full. I've not been out west in quite some time, in fact, I haven't left Florida in 14 years.
