Lake Mead

California, Arizona, and Nevada have reached an agreement to take less water from the Colorado River in an effort to save Lake Mead near Las Vegas, which declared a water shortage for the first time in its history earlier this year.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday will plead for the broad embrace of the Biden administration’s “Build Back Better” legislative agenda as she visits Lake Mead in Nevada. Her public appeal will be the latest attempt to highlight Democrat infrastructure and climate change proposals currently stalled in Congress.
