Overseas Network, June 24th. According to US media such as Broadcasting Corporation, such as the US media reported on the 23rd, the water level of the largest reservoir in the United States has fallen to a record low due to drought. Earlier, many remains in the lake were discovered due to the decline in water level.
Lake Mide, the largest reservoir in the United States, provides drinking water in millions of people in California, Arizona, Nevada and parts of Mexico. The water level has continued to decline since 2021, and the water level on June 23 was only 1043.82 feet (about 318 meters), the lowest water level since the 1930s.
If the water level drops below 895 feet (about 273 meters), Made Lake will reach the "dead pool" state, which means that the water level is too low and cannot flow to the dam, which will bring potential catastrophic consequences to millions of people. "This is a very serious thing." Grenon, a professor of water resources and policies specializing in water resources law and policies, said.
In August 2021, the lack of water was announced for the first time, which led to a decrease in water release to Arizona, Nevada and Mexico. At present, the drought problem of Lake Made is still serious, and many remains have been found from the lake in May. (Overseas network Zhang Ni)
