is a community centered project made up of residents and volunteers through Southern Nevada to help give awareness of what's going on at Lake Mead. As our population grows, the need for clean water is essential for us to thrive in our community, but also taking care for a better future. This website is not only informational, but also interactive where you can report water waste, know more about the lake and it's history, and most importantly, help Lake Mead in different ways to conserve water. Water levels in Southern Nevada is now in historic record lows and we have to do something about it before it is too late.
