. . . but less and less.
Lake Mead is presently at the lowest levels sine it was first filled-up after construction of the Hoover Dam.
And, . . . and "the watershed is now so parched and depleted that Mead is projected to continue dropping next year and into 2023.
The watershed has been ravaged by one of the driest 22-year periods in centuries. Scientists describe the past two decades as a megadrought worsened by climate change, and say the Colorado River Basin is undergoing “aridification” that will complicate water management for generations to come.
In 2000, Lake Mead was nearly full and its surface was lapping at the spillway gates of the Hoover Dam. Since then, the reservoir has fallen nearly 143 feet. And it's now at the lowest levels since 1937. "
