Third set of human remains found in Lake Mead

Published

A another set of human remains has been found in Lake Mead, marking the third discovery in as many months

As America’s largest reservoir, Lake Mead, drops to its lowest water level in 85 years, it is also exposing secrets of the past after a third set of human remains were found.

Covered in mud and left to rot, the person was in a barrel and died by a gunshot wound all the way back in the 1970s.

At this time, Lake Mead was a hive of activity and almost completely full – reaching a depth of around 30 feet.

Now, it’s a whole different story.

Human remains in Lake Mead aren’t the only concern

Lake Mead supplies water to around 25 million people in the Western part of the U.S. and generates electricity for 350,000 homes.

These residents are now all at risk.

The lake has been receding for years and is now filled to just 27 per cent of its capacity.

Despite recent localised monsoon rains, experts believe it’s still not enough to restore the catchment to its former glory.

“Over 90% of water in Lake Mead comes from the upper basin. While rains are really helpful at changing water demands locally, they’re not really impactful to the lake at all”

NASA says the receding water levels are just another illustration of climate change.

Top researchers believe this could well be the region’s worst drought in 12 centuries.

New satellite images have prompted warnings to surrounding states.

Residents are now being told make immediate cuts to protect future supplies as well as power generation.

But in the interim, and as Lake Mead dries up, secrets of the past will just continue to be revealed.
