Severe Drought Afflicts Lake Mead, the Largest Reservoir in the United States

epa04329602 A severe drought afflicting the American Southwest has left a so-called ‘bathtub ring’ (white mineral deposits on the canyon walls that show a high water mark) around Lake Mead, which is at its lowest level since it was filled in 1937, in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada, USA, 24 July 2014. Formed after construction of the Hoover Dam, Lake Mead is the largest reservoir in the United States. Yet it is currently at just 39 percent capacity, with water levels at 1082 feet (330 meters), down from a high of 1225 feet (373 meters) in 1983. EPA/JIM LO SCALZO
