Lake Mead water levels have risen nearly 22 feet since this time last year.

The first photo taken in August 2022 depicts the derelict boat abandoned on parched ground. Lake Mead water levels can be seen shimmering in the far distance. The second photo was taken this month. The boat is still stranded on the dry ground, but the lake's waters have started to encroach on it. Small plants also are more abundant in the second photo, another sign that water levels are recovering.

Experts believe the lake has finished its ascent and will level off before dropping slightly over the next few months. Despite the change in Lake Mead's water levels, there is still lots of improvement needed at the reservoir.
