“Behind The Drought” looks to examine the causes of the Great Western water shortage, other than reasons of the drought itself. Come along on a multi-part series as we start in our home state of Nevada and venture out to other regions to discover where exactly all the Colorado River water is going!
Part One of the series starts off at the upscale Tuscan themed village of Lake Las Vegas, complete with it’s own 300+ acre artificial lake! Lake Las Vegas has been rated by the Southern Nevada Water District as the biggest commercial water consumer in the Las Vegas Valley 2 years in a row now (2020 & 2021). This accolade earns them a top spot in our “Behind the Drought” special…
Stay tuned in as we work on a more Lake Mead BEFORE & AFTER videos and go out hunting for more boat wrecks!
