I rise as the water level in Lake Mead sits at yet another all-time low. Today, Lake Mead, which provides water for 25 million Americans, holds just 27 percent of its capacity. Just 40 years ago, as you can see here, Lake Mead was actually above full capacity. But now we face the threat of the worst megadrought in 12 centuries. The clock is ticking, and we must act now. That is why I am supporting the Wildfire Response and Drought Resiliency Act. This package includes three of my bills to tackle our drought, conserve water, enhance our research capabilities, and keep more water in Lake Mead for Nevadans. We cannot let politics get in the way of this. Water is not a partisan issue. Every Nevadan, every American, whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent, needs a stable water supply. Let's pass this package and help secure our future. ____________________
