The old Basic Management Inc. intake pipe at Saddle Island, the first-ever “straw” put into Lake Mead to bring water to Las Vegas, is shown on July 28, 2022 in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada. A formerly sunken boat is shown on the rocks at left. The white “bathtub ring” on the rocks is from mineral deposits left from when the area was submerged in water. Last week, Lake Mead dropped to just 27 percent of its capacity, with the water level at its lowest since being filled in 1937 after the construction of the Hoover Dam as a result of a climate change-fueled megadrought coupled with increased water demands in the Southwestern United States.

An aerial view of common reed islets alternate with dried mud and receded patches of water in Lake Velence near Pakozd, Hungary, 28 July 2022. A popular holiday destination for domestic visitors, Hungary’s third largest natural freshwater reservoir normally has a surface area of 26 square kilometres and an average depth of 160 cms. It serves as a nesting site for a range of aquatic bird species and a habitat for over twenty species of fish. Between 2019 and 2021, the lake lost 44 percent of its water volume due to a decline in the annual precipitate and increasingly frequent heat waves that accelerate evaporation. Due to the shallowness of the lakebed, the water level drops by almost one centimetre per day during periods of 40-degree heat. The current water level is measured at 63 centimetres, which nears the all-time low record of 62 centimetres. EPA-EFE/Tamas Vasvari
