"There's a 50-50 chance that the Arizona- and Nevada-bordering, human-made
Lake Mead could become Dry Ditch Mead by 2021, according to a study to be
published in the journal Water Resources Research. Oh, and that's a conservative
estimate, say the study authors, as is this one: By 2017, there's an equally
good chance that water levels in the reservoir could drop so low that the Hoover
Dam would be incapable of producing hydroelectric power. Lake Mead provides
water to thirsty cities including Los Angeles and Las Vegas, as well as H2O to
agricultural areas. Coauthor Tim Barnett says he was 'stunned at the magnitude
of the problem and how fast it was coming at us,' and the study recommends that
officials implement conservation and mitigation policies and technologies.
