Talk about a "glass half full or half empty" kind of story:

This article paints a rosy picture of the level of the #water in Lake Mead being 17 feet higher than in 2022.

But it's 166 feet lower than full.

[Oh, and the article completely fails to mention the role that #climate change is already playing in cutting flows of the Colorado River.]
