1.     Some of the research even into the 1990s suggested that the so called "Great Lakes" (oftentimes promised by early developers to the city of Albuquerque to lure residents to move there), did not have anywhere near the quality or quantity of water earlier estimated. 

a.     What implications might this have for a large city (over 500, 000 people plus adjoining metropolitain areas) especially since we fit definition of a "true" desert.....having both of the following attributes...

1.     Less than 10" of precipitation a year

2.     A greater potential for evaporation (net loss), than a potential for precipitation (net gain)

Please describe what could happen to the water supply over time......
