"Critical Dam Flaws Threaten Water Supply for Millions of Americans"

More than 30 million Americans could face a drinking water crisis as major plumbing issues were found in the Glen Canyon Dam, threatening water supplies downstream to Lake Mead. The dam's river outlet works, responsible for releasing water to Lake Mead, have serious pipe damage, potentially leading to existing water shortages worsening for residents of California, Nevada, and Utah. The unfavorable inspection report suggests that the pipes may not be up to the task of releasing water, posing a significant risk to the water supply for millions of people.
