RIP Lake Mead

The water levels at Lake Mead have undergone dramatic changes since 1983, transforming the landscape to the point where it now resembles the terrain of another planet. Many people reminisce about the 80s, claiming everything was better back then—apparently, that sentiment extends to the health of our planet. Over time, our world has shifted, and the stark, sometimes devastating results are evident in this before-and-after image of the lake

Located in Arizona, Lake Mead’s water levels have dropped so significantly over the past forty years that the difference is both astonishing and alarming. It’s hard to believe it’s the same place. What does this mean for the future of our water resources? The declining levels highlight the growing impact of climate change and prolonged drought conditions in the region. This visual serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address environmental challenges before it’s too late. How can we ensure a sustainable future for places like Lake Mead?
