June 11, 2021 - LAKE MEAD NRA U.S. - Boaters are seen on Lake Mead near Hoover Dam on June 11, 2021 in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada. The white ''bathtub ring'' on the rocks is from mineral deposits left by higher levels of water. A multi-year drought and increased water demand spurred by explosive population growth in the Southwest has caused the water level at Lake Mead, which supplies water to Las Vegas, Arizona and Southern California, to drop to its lowest in history. The National Park Service has been forced to close or extend boat launch ramps, and move entire marinas to try to keep up with the receding water levels. Because the water at the lake, the largest man-made reservoir in North America, isn't being replenished as fast as it's being used, water managers are now working to come up with plans to combat the effects of continued population growth, drought and a dwindling supply of water from the Colorado River due to climate change.
