$817 VEGAS WATER LIFELINE - 3RD LAKE MEAD INTAKE VALVE IS AN ENGINEERING MARVEL

Lake Mead third intake valve is an engineering marvel that cost $817, to secure the Las Vegas water supply. But will it? With the current drought and Lake Mead draining fast, will the third intake simply buy Vegas some time before the last drop runs dry. The intake was placed at the lowest point of the lake, to drain every last drop.
