Lake Mead, the nation's largest reservoir by storage capacity, has reached its lowest water level on record. The lake's surface fell to 1,040.5 feet on Thursday, surpassing the previous record set in 2022. This marks the lowest level since the reservoir was filled in the 1930s. The decline is attributed to an extreme drought exacerbated by climate change, and water levels are expected to drop another 30 feet over the next two years. The record-low level comes days after federal authorities released a plan to deal with water shortages.
