USA Stewarts Point, Lake Mead, Nevada
Stewarts Point is on Lake Mead, the lake that supplies the Hoover Dam. A spot for fishing and water sports. The area is very desert-like, with only a few houses on the point.
In Lake Mead, the Colorado River, coming from the Grand Canyon, is dammed. The lake is intended to provide drinking water for Las Vegas and Los Angeles, as well as water for agriculture. It is intended to supply Las Vegas with electricity and serve as a leisure area for the population. For this purpose, it is surrounded by the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. However, for years, there has been less rainfall than the water required. The water level is dropping, the lake is getting smaller, and the shore areas are larger.
