More human remains found amid receding water levels on Lake Mead

https://nypost.com/2022/07/27/...levels-on-lake-mead/

A third set of human remains has been found around the shores of Lake Mead as a megadrought causes the reservoir’s water levels to drop to the lowest stages since the 1930s.

The National Park Service reports the most recent find happened Monday in a swimming area in the Lake Mead recreational zone.

Rangers said they contacted the Clark County Coroner’s Office, who took procession of the remains and will determine the person’s identity and the cause of death.

The lake level has dropped more than 150 feet since 2000, and the lowering water stage has exposed everything from boats to critical intake valves for hydropower generation.

Lt. Ray Spencer, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s homicide division, warned after the first set of remains was found in May that more discoveries were likely as dropping water levels revealed sights not seen in decades.


Lake Mead is estimated to be at just 27 percent of capacity, and the continued deterioration is showing no signs of slowing.

I got 14 trillion gallons of water for sale…1 dollar per acre foot.

Can not ship to Kalifonia due to prop 65 restrictions.
