Almost 25 years into a drought, and with growth happening in nearly every part of the county, water is a major concern in Southern Nevada.
Lake Mead is Las Vegas’ main water source, and 60% of the lake's waters go to the farmland of California, whose year-long growing seasons help feed the nation. So naturally, people get concerned when they hear about states unable to agree on how to divide it between the seven states that share the Colorado River.
That disagreement came to a head last week at the annual meeting of those states in Las Vegas, the meeting of the Colorado River Water Users Association.
