A VIEW OF THE DRY BED OF THE E.V. SPENCE RESERVOIR IN ROBERT LEE, TEXAS

Image #: 15810830 A view of the dry bed of the E.V. Spence Reservoir in Robert Lee, Texas October 28, 2011. After one of the hottest summers on record, the lake that is the lone water supply and main recreational draw in this tiny West Texas town is more than 99 percent empty. Robert Lee, which is a two-hour drive east of Midland, has received only about six inches (15 cm) of rainfall this year, half the normal amount.
