We've never seen this before throughout Lake Meads or U.S history!! This is unprecedent!!! Drought Throughout History Drought is a normal climate pattern that has occurred in varying degrees of length, severity, and size throughout history. Tree ring archives indicate that agricultural droughts such as those that happened in the United States during the 1930s Dust Bowl era have occurred occasionally over the last 1,000 years, and climate model simulations suggest that droughts that may last several years to even decades occur naturally in the southwestern U.S. https://www.drought.gov/what-is-drought/historical-drought#:~:text=The three longest drought episodes,early 21st-century drought). Ever notice these global warming alarmists, like yourself, cry global warming when there are droughts then do the same thing when there are floods? https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/flood-a-boon-for-lake-mead/https://lasvegassun.com/news/2021/jul/25/sporadic-rains-leave-trash-heap-las-vegas-flood/https://www.nps.gov/lake/learn/news/july-2017-flooding.htm Lake Mead Water Level Timeline The water levels at Lake Mead have visibly fluctuated over the years. Despite the fluctuations, the lake is still one of the largest reservoir in the United States with depths surpassing 300 feet. It is the sixth most visited unit of the National Park System and the premier inland water recreation area in the west. February 1935 Lake begins to fill to 708.70 feet July 1941 Lake Mead reaches 1220.40 feet March 1956 Lake Mead drops to 1083.57 feet July 1983 Lake Mead reaches 1225.44 feet (highest point) June 2015 Lake Mead reaches 1074.71 feet May 2022 Projected to be 1059 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
