New Restrictions & Las Vegas Intake Study Lake Mead UPDATE April 2023 #water #update #lasvegas #2023

Welcome back Colorado River Watchers! In this water level report, we’ll learn about new restrictions and conservation measures for the 2023 water year that just became active for the Las Vegas valley. We’ll also look at the effects of all the record rain and snow not only upstream from Lake Mead, but also for users in cities downstream. At the end, find out why the newer “3rd intake” at Lake Mead which supplies Las Vegas may be in need of an expensive modification already!

I would like to thank everyone for their continued support, ideas, corrections, and comments! Stay tuned as we work on more periodic water level updates and a new year filled with new adventures!
