I really appreciate the description for the dry bed.
It is a devastating sight, but knowing the Detroit engineers started on it back in the 40's .... well .... there y'go.

This is supposed to make us guiltily believe that this is caused by “climate change” as a result of American greed and the oil and gas industry, when in fact it has been caused by diverted rivers, ill-advised dam and road construction and undoubtedly excess pumping from the lake (just like on the Rio Grande).
Climate change is causing the immigration crisis! The propaganda continues.

We should ship all those wet backs back they could wring the out and fill it back up

Didn’t we all warn them:
“Don’t drink the water!” ???

The piece is full of leftist propaganda with faulty logic, Voodoo physics and environmentalism. For example, dams don’t make lakes smaller without making other lakes larger.
Poor economic, building and business decisions are a separate topic. For example, caliche is a more suitable building material than wood in such places. And farms should be surrounded by planted trees.

Everything has started back in 1941, when the government constructed the Cointzio dam, leading to the disappearance of more than two-thirds of the lake’s water. In other words, they diverted the water someplace else.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. Good thing you beat me to it as I now don’t have to post.
I believe Owens Lake in California used to be a big lake, before LA siphoned off all the water for LA swimming pools.

Something else that’s obvious in the photos.
Lake Cuitzeo

Unless it escaped our gravity and dispersed into space as ice crystals, it’s either in the atmosphere in vapor state, in the water table in the ground, or in another location of standing surface water.

The Wikipedia information leans way to the right in comparison (analytical as opposed to shrill leftist) and present a very different picture. I'm a skeptical about "SS" (StrangeSounds.org).
Lake CuitzeoWikipedia "Lake Cuitzeo (Spanish: [kwitˈseo] (About this soundlisten)) is a lake in the central part of Mexico, in the state of Michoacán. It has an area of 300–400 km2 (120–150 sq mi). The lake is astatic, meaning the volume and
level of water in the lake fluctuates frequently...The lake is irregular in shape, with northern, western, and eastern sections connected by
a central marshy area,..."
"The three main inflows to the lake are the Viejo de Morelia, Grande de Morelia, and Querendaro rivers. These rivers originate in the mountains to the south, and sustain an
irrigated agricultural area south of the lake, entering the central portion of the lake as irrigation canals. The
main crops are maize, cotton, and coffee.[7]..."
"About 40 percent of the basin is agricultural
fields, 15 percent is pasture, 20 percent is pine-oak forests, and 15 percent is tropical dry forest.[7] The pine-oak forests lie at higher elevations,..."

Proof for periodic droughts is evidenced in central and south America to about 1200-1000 years ago: The Mayan civilization, cultural practices aside, collapsing in part because of rapidly rising Holocene sea levels forcing agriculture inland, a doubling of the population and a halving of rainfall changing humidity levels.
“We found high probabilities of drought occurring specifically during the onset (~750 to ~850 CE) and the end (~950 to ~1050 CE) of the TCP....Note that recorded Colonial-period accounts of later droughts (e.g., 1535–1560 and 1765–1773) ...lack of gypsum formation is likely a result of shorter duration and/or lower severity of these droughts, providing further evidence that the TCP was an unusually dry period for the Holocene on the Yucatán Peninsula.” (Study:
https://science.sciencemag.org/content/361/6401/498
“Tree ring archives indicate that agricultural droughts such as those that happened in the United States during the 1930s Dust Bowl era have occurred occasionally over the last 1,000 years, and climate model simulations suggest that droughts that may last several years to even decades occur naturally in the southwestern U.S.”

The scale of the problem? Lake Cuitzeo should have 800 million cubic meters of water, but today it doesn’t even have 200. Now, the more than 300-square-kilometer reservoir has become a cemetery [...]300 sq. km = 300 million square meters. Given a volume of 800 million cubic meters, that is equivalent to an average depth of less than THREE METERS.
In other words: Extremely shallow lake to begin with!
