Frightening how much smaller Lake Mead is now.

> How long does Lake Mead have left? Lake Mead has been facing a water crisis for many years. The water level in the lake has been dropping due to the increasing demand for water and the decreasing supply. If the trend continues, the lake could run out of water in the next 10 to 15 years.

Great…I was in Vegas last weekend, I guess they’ll just run it until it’s dry. Humans are ridiculous.

The city of Vegas is among the best and most proactive in the country at water preservation and reclamation. Sadly, it still might not be enough. In the 90s they started paying people to tear up their lawns, and more recently they outlawed lawns and started tearing some up forcefully, and last I checked watering grass still accounted for a double-digit percentage of their water budget.

Irrigating existing grass with Colorado River water is banned effective 2027.
