It’s manmade so “history” is correct.

And it’s a man-made lake.

Well, I think you can scratch Lake Mead off the Bassmaster Tournament Trail for the near future.

There was no lake Mead before they built the dam.

It wasn’t there until they built Hoover dam so I wouldn’t say that it’s at its lowest level in “history”.

It is a man made lake. The lowest level would be dry with a river running through it.

It is a desert. Large amounts of people where never meant to live there.

Well, since the indians haven’t caught any migratory salmon above the dam since it was built, the obvious ‘green’ solution would be to remove the dam so that the river could be restored to its historic levels. I’m pretty sure that fish ladders wouldn’t help.

Yeah, drain some more mines into the river, maybe LA would like the yellow water coming out of their spigots.

Yup, the dilemma is a down-stream demand.
