New at 11 We have seen significant progress at Lake
Mead with water levels higher than they were three years
ago,
but new projections predict a big drop is coming.
The Bureau of Reclamation estimates that the lake will rise
another three feet by the end of next month to
1073 feet.
But then they're expecting a steady decline,
ending 17 feet lower than last year at 1056 feet.
They're also estimating that it'll be down another 12 feet
next year.
