Lake Mead Falls To Lowest Level Since Hoover Dam's Construction

LAKE MEAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA, NEVADA - JUNE 12: Pipes from an abandoned water intake tower on Pyramid Island, which is no longer surrounded by water, extend out at Lake Mead on June 12, 2021 in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada. This week, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation reported that Lake Mead, North America's largest artificial reservoir, dropped to 1,071.53 feet above sea level, the lowest it's been since being filled in 1937 after the construction of the Hoover Dam. The declining water levels are a result of a nearly continuous drought for the past two decades coupled with increased water demands in the Southwestern United States.
