Lake Mead going dry

[We Never Know]

Anyone here rely on this lake? Getting worried yet.

"Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, was at about 27% of capacity Friday, inching perilously closer to “dead pool” levels, federal officials said. At that point, about 150 feet below its current level, the lake would drop below its lowest intake valve, which could cripple water supplies in the western United States."

"The lake stood at around 1,042 feet above sea level on Monday, down about 25 feet from the same time last year and 44 feet below its 2020 depth.

"Dead pool, or the point when water can no longer flow through the reservoir at Hoover Dam, occurs at 895 feet elevation."

I don't rely on it anymore, but the majority of my friends and family back home do rely on it.

I've been attempting to convince them to leave for about 2 years now. This might be the push.

They already built an emergency intake valve earlier this year to compensate for the drop. Seems it's going ever lower.


But it's ok, climate change is a hoax.

Well, maybe now I can finally find the ring I dropped in it while cliff jumping with friends a few years ago. I used to go there all the time when I lived in Vegas.

I wish you luck!
