The entire West, including Las Vegas, is severely impacted by the recent drought. According to a recent report...
Ninety percent of the area's water comes from the Lake Mead. At least one of the city's two intake pipes could soon be above water. So to save the water supply Nevada is rushing to build a third intake even deeper.
Concrete slabs are being lowered 650 feet underground where a massive drill is creating a three-mile-long tunnel, one inch per minute. The project should be finished next year and costs $817 million.
Going Dry ?

Well, since we have very little control over what Mother Nature dishes out at any point in time, there is not much else to do. I do hope the situation improves quickly.
