Lake Mead water level to be bolstered by $100M plan
States in the lower Colorado River basin are developing a $100 million plan that will leave more water in Lake Mead over the next couple of years. The goal is to keep the lake from hitting a critical level that would leave the reservoir more vulnerable to rapid decline. … The negotiations between Nevada, Arizona, California and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for additional reductions in water use come just months after the federal government declared Lake Mead’s first water shortage.
