Footage From Hoover Dam Revealed The 170 Foot Decline Nobody Can Stop..

Lake Mead is dying. A 170-foot white scar on the canyon walls at Hoover Dam marks every foot of water that entered the largest reservoir in the United States and never came back. The lake currently sits at 29 percent of its total capacity. The Bureau of Reclamation is projecting it will drop another 20 feet before the end of the 2026 water year. Hoover Dam's hydroelectric output has already been cut by 40 percent and could drop further by fall. Forty million Americans depend on what is left. This video covers the science behind the collapse, the century-long miscalculation that made it inevitable, and what happens to seven states if Lake Mead reaches dead pool.
