California drought: watch this time-lapse of Folsom Lake as it dries up

The timelapse of Folsom Lake reservoir, around 25 miles north of Sacramento, was posted on Facebook by Ryan Griffith.

. . . "The clip begins with the lake bathed in sunshine and covered in boats.

"However it ends with just a baron piece of land with the wooden pontoon the only thing remaining in the center of the dried up lake bed.

"Griffith said in his Facebook post: 'I've been collecting and assembling these since March of 2015 through August 2015 showing the effects of the drought in California is having on our reservoirs. 

" 'This is from Brown's Ravine / Folsom Lake Marina. Every time I've watched it I've seen something new.' 

"The reservoir was once home to 700 boats, but now all that is left are some abandoned engines.
