Boulder City, Aug 21 (EFE/EPA).- The water level at Lake Mead, the largest US reservoir by volume, fell to record low on Saturday of below 1,075 feet, as the historic drought impacting the Colorado River prompts water cuts.

As climate change dries up the US’s largest reservoir, a darker history is being uncovered.
The Rhine is one of Germany's key water routes for transporting goods, and vessels with bigger drafts might not be able to use the river if levels continue to fall.
Lake Mead’s water levels have plunged to their lowest in history, leading leading to fears of water restrictions across multiple states. The key water reserve - which serves tens of millions of people living in Nevada, California, Arizona and across the border in Mexico - has seen its elevation drop by up to 160 feet over the last 20 years.
The Parana River, the tenth largest river basin in the world, is suffering its worst low in more than half a century, with experts unsure as to whether this owes to its natural cycle or to climate change.
