Lake Mead is a reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River in the Southwestern United States. It is located in the states of Nevada and Arizona, 24 mi east from Las Vegas Strip. It is the largest reservoir in the United States in terms of water capacity.
How deep is Lake Mead now?
Currently, Lake Mead is roughly 140 feet below its 2000 level when it was considered full. That's about the height of the Statue of Liberty in New York. If Lake Mead drops another 175 feet, water would then no longer pass through the Hoover Dam and cut off the water supply for everyone downstream.
What's at the bottom of Lake Mead?
That's right, the bottom of the lake is home to a World War II aircraft relic. The bomber was engaged in high-altitude atmospheric research when it crashed into the Overton arm of Lake Mead on July 21, 1948, Vanover said.
