Lake Mead is one of the largest reservoirs in the United States it holds up to 4 trillion gallons of water, and supplies water to over 25 million people in the States of California, Nevada and Arizona. The Hoover Dam was completed in 1936 blocking up the Colorado River in the Boulder Canyon. The water level is currently in drought mode but heavy snowfall this year should help fill it up. it is currently 148 feet below capacity at 1085 feet, with a full pool being 1229′ which hasn’t occurred since 1983. It’s Crazy to see how much the water level fluctuates in this huge lake. if the lake level drops below 1075′ it is considered drought conditions and they start rationing water in Nevada and Arizona, but not California because they have first priority on the water. If the lake level drops below 950′ the hoover dam will lose its ability to generate electricity. in 2015 the completed a pipeline to extract water from a depth of 850′
