NASA satellite images show Lake Mead water levels plummeting to
lowest point since 1937
Satellite images released by NASA this week show a dramatic drop
in water levels over the last 22 years at Lake Mead.
NASA confirmed that water levels in Lake Mead, located in Nevada
and Arizona, are at their lowest since April 1937, when the
reservoir was being filled for the first time.
As of Monday, Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United
States, was filled to 27% capacity, according to NASA.
The photos shared by the NASA Earth Observatory, taken in 2000,
2021 and 2022, show Lake Mead appearing to grow less and less
full of water, even in the one-year span between 2021 and 2022.
The image from 2000 shows swaths of Lake Mead full of water,
while the image from 2022 only shows one section, known as
Overton Arm, filled.
The severity of this loss is underlined by its impact on those
who have relied on Lake Mead's water for decades. The images
also arrive as states throughout the West experience high levels
of drought – with 74% of nine Western states currently reporting
some level of drought, and 35% facing extreme levels, according
to the U.S. Drought monitor.
"The largest reservoir in the United States supplies water to
millions of people across seven states, tribal lands, and
northern Mexico," NASA Earth Observatory's news release reads.
"It now also provides a stark illustration of climate change and
a long-term drought that may be the worst in the U.S. West in 12
centuries."
In recent months, the rapidly receding waters at Lake Mead have
revealed human bodies, ghost towns, a crashed B-29 Superfortress
and more.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," Travis Heggie, a former
National Park Service official who has studied deaths at Lake
Mead Recreation Area, told USA TODAY in May.
The water elevation at Hoover Dam, which formed Lake Mead, is
dropping significantly. According to data from the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation, the water elevation of Hoover Dam was almost
1,200 feet in July 2000. As of July 18 this year, it had fallen
to about 1,040 feet.
The last time Lake Mead was at maximum capacity, reaching an
elevation of about 1,220 feet near the dam, was in 1983 and
1999, NASA notes.
Lake Powell, which sits above Lake Mead in northern Arizona and
southern Utah, is also at dangerously low levels. Similar to
Lake Mead, Lake Powell is now at 27% capacity, according to NASA.
Earlier this summer, the U.S. Reclamation Commissioner warned
surrounding states that the losses on the Colorado River system
meant water users would need to make more immediate cuts to
protect future supplies and power generation at both Hoover Dam
and Glen Canyon Dam, which backs up Lake Powell upstream.
The Bureau of Reclamation will release a set of projections for
2023 in August, which that could trigger even deeper cuts in
water usage.

I have been saying for years, we will run out of water long before we
run out of oil. We have been draining rivers and aquifers at rates far
faster than they can be recharged.

Think it is funny huh?
You never miss the water until the well runs dry.
I suppose it is possible to get drinking water from the sea but most
water is used for agriculture and desalination can't provide that
volume of water at a cost we can sustain. We made the desert bloom
and did it with water at unsustainable rates..
