The largest reservoir in the US has dipped to its lowest ever level, officials say, as an extreme drought continues in the region.
The surface elevation of Lake Mead along the Arizona-Nevada border fell to 326.6 metres above sea level on Thursday.
It has sunk about 140ft since 2000 – which is almost the height of New York City’s Statue of Liberty.
The reservoir is a major water supply source for more than 20 million people.
Among them are residents of big cities such as Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Lake Mead was created by the Hoover Dam in the 1930s.
