Lake Mead is close to a dead pool in which no water will flow through the dam. The water level keeps dropping

Shrinking Lake Mead reveals bodies and boats

Excerpt:
Lake Mead’s water level has dropped more than 170 feet (52 meters) since 1983, the year the Colorado River flooded Hoover Dam’s spillways. If the reservoir dips below 895 feet (272.8 meters) – about 150 feet (45 meters) lower than where it is now – Lake Mead would reach what’s called dead-pool level. Dead pool is when water in a reservoir drops so low that it can’t flow downstream from the dam. If Lake Mead were to reach dead pool – a possibility that scientists say is several years away – there would be dire consequences for the millions of people who rely on the reservoir for drinking water and irrigation.
