Lake Mead drops to record low; Mexico is guaranteed water by treaty
THIS WAS A MARINA
Extended droughts has shrunk the country's largest reservoir to an all-time low, and leaders in the West's water planning say the area's water users must shift how they view their most valuable resource.
Lake Mead, hemmed in by the Hoover Dam, is the largest manmade reservoir in the United States and supplies water to California, Nevada, and Arizona.
The drop from 1,220 feet above sea level – which is considered full – to 1,074 feet is a record low, and officials want the water level pushed well over 1,075 feet above sea level.
If it remains below that elevation by the end of the year, Arizona and Nevada are forced by treaty to cut their water allocation.

Troll will probably delete his thread (http://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...cord-low-Mexico-is-guaranteed-water-by-treaty), but his dishonesty must be pointed out. Below is the article that he edited in his thread.
Lake Mead, hemmed in by the Hoover Dam, is the largest manmade reservoir in the United States and supplies water to California, Nevada, and Arizona, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. The drop from 1,220 feet above sea level – which is considered full – to 1,074 feet is a record low, and officials want the water level pushed well over 1,075 feet above sea level. If it remains below that elevation by the end of the year, Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico are forced by treaty to cut their water allocation – Arizona by 11 percent – although California is still guaranteed its full supply, The Monitor's Pete Spotts reported.
