Part 4/8:
A particular point of concern discussed during the show was the concept of "Deadpool," which signifies the extent at which Lake Mead would no longer be able to supply water. At Elevation 895, the reservoir becomes essentially non-functional, unable to provide water past Hoover Dam, thereby jeopardizing water supply not just for Southern Nevada, but also for Arizona and California. Fortunately, however, because of the third intake’s elevation, Southern Nevada has a built-in lifeline, capable of drawing water even under severe water shortage scenarios.
