Lake Mead recently reached its lowest level since it filled in the 1930s, and there is concern that if the drought continues the nation’s largest reservoir will drop and reach ”shortage” conditions. A federal, multi-state effort is now underway to retain water in the reservoir and avoid a shortage.

Learn more about these efforts and see the reservoir and Hoover Dam firsthand on the Water Education Foundation’s March 11-13 tour of the Lower Colorado River.

Other stops on this three-day, two-night tour include Central Arizona Project’s Mark Wilmer pumping plant, the Havasu National Wildlife refuge, farms in the Imperial and Coachella valleys, and the Salton Sea. The tour begins in Las Vegas and ends at California’s Ontario International Airport.
