  • Visitors are attending the museum inside Hoover Dam, also known as Boulder Dam, standing in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, forming Lake Mead, on the border between Nevada and Arizona, USA. Constructed between 1931 and 1936 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers. Lake Mead is 180 km long, and when filled to capacity can reach 28 million acre-feet of water. However, the lake has not reached this capacity in more than a decade, due to increasing droughts.

  • Dean Baker, 72, owner of the largest ranch in Snake Valley, is talking on the phone inside his home near Baker, Utah, USA. Although opposing South Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) 300-mile water pipeline project, he is one of the very few inhabitants of Snake Valley that is supporting Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert to sign a legal agreement between Utah and Nevada. This document should protect their future rights and the local environment, but would also allow for the beginning of the pipeline construction: many people fear that once pumping water, it will not be easily stopped, even if breaching any of the points outlined within the agreement.

  • Clell Pete, 66, a member of the Goshute Tribe, is measuring the water table at an abandoned water hole near Eight Mile, in the Goshute Reservation of Deep Creek Valley, on the Nevada-Utah border, USA. Clell began measuring it once a week since November 2012, in order to document the development of the water table. As of March 2013, the water table is at 65,11 meters and has only varied by a few centimetres since November 2012. Once the projected water pipeline of South Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) will be built and operated from nearby Spring Valley, the Goshute tribe will be able to measure the acquifers. A considerable drop would also prove the Goshute's assumption is correct, and that in fact the aquifers of Spring Valley and Deep Creek Valley are interconnected: a water withdrawal from Spring Valley would also affect the water supply for nearby Deep Creek Valley, and for the Goshute Reservation.
