Lake Mead, the nation's largest reservoir, has been making a lot of national headlines lately. Its water level has dropped to its lowest level ever, and, it continues to drop every day, as the drought that's gripping much of the American West marches on. And though the lake itself is hundreds of miles from us here in Colorado, we have a lot at stake in the Colorado River and the reservoir's record-low levels have implications for our local communities.
American Whitewater is pleased to have contributed an op-ed about how Lake Mead's record low may echo around the region in The Denver Post. We'll definitely be keeping an eye on the lake, and how its water level may affect recreational boating in our area, so stay tuned!
