Water levels in Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, are at record lows. Situated behind the Hoover Dam, the reservoir's declining volume poses a significant threat to regional stability.

A continued drop in water levels would imperil water supplies for millions of people. Furthermore, the scarcity threatens to cut electricity production from the dam, impacting the power grid.

As the reservoir sits at historic lows, the situation remains critical for the millions of people relying on these essential water supplies.
