Lake Mead is projected to reach some of its lowest water levels ever recorded by 2027, raising concerns about the future of the vital water source. Tourists and locals alike are witnessing the stark changes in the lake’s water levels, with the lake currently running 7 feet lower than it was in 2023 and 2024.
Myat Han, a tourist visiting his family from South Dakota, expressed his observations while feeding catfish at the lake. “We just came to see the lake and feed the fish and things,” Han said. He noted the visible rock layers indicating previous water levels which were not their when his relatives saw the lake in the past, adding, “They said it has been going down since the last time they visited.”
Every year there is a series of articles about water levels in Lake Mead and California water usage. Wake me up when someone does something substantive about this. Until then it is just another avoidable environmental issue.
