What if Lake Mead Gets Worse in 2025? Here's why Las Vegas' Water Supply is Secure

In spite of a significant drop in water levels at Lake Mead over the last 20 years, Southern Nevada and Las Vegas has, and will continue to have, a secure and a reliable water supply. In fact, it's the most secure location of any community that relies on water from Lake Mead (including California, Arizona and Mexico). In this video, learn how in a 'dead pool' scenario engineers have built infrastructure ensuring Nevada will have access to water at Lake Mead. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s groundbreaking Third Intake and Low Lake Level Pumping Station (L3PS), a $1.3 billion insurance policy against declining lake levels. From a tunnel deep beneath Lake Mead combined with one-of-a-kind pumping technology, these engineering marvels will ensure water flows to Southern Nevada for the long term future. Featuring SNWA’s Director of Operations, Buck Osborne, this video explores the forward thinking and innovation that protect our community’s water supply. 🔗 Third Intake Documentary:    • Lake Mead Third Intake Documentary   💧 Stay informed—subscribe for more videos about water and sustainability in Southern Nevada! #lakemead #watersupply #lasvegas #southernnevada #snwa #watersecurity #drought #engineering #sustainability #waterinfrastructure #climateresilience 0:00 - Intro 0:55 - Third Intake 2:30 - The Martini Glass Effect 3:19 - Third Intake Construction 6:13 - Intake One at Surface 7:47 - A Dead Pool Scenario 10:18 - Low Lake Level Pumping Station
