where does the water from lakes/rivers other large bodies of water go?

Question

So many bodies of water are drying up. I drove past what looked like a huge lake on the map a couple weeks ago, and saw only dry land. Lake mead is drying up and we are finding all kinds of fascinating things, but where does the water go?

Answer 1

Drought, increased demand for water, and changes in precipitation patterns are resulting in lakes drying up faster around the world.
