Las Vegas runaway growth

Published by at under sustainability

The Map Room put up a nice slidshow showing the huge growth of the Las Vegas metropolitan area over the last 20 years. What I found most alarming though was that you can actually see the water level declining in Lake Meade as the city grows.

Granted, I’m not sure if this is just an effect of the images being from different times of year, but alarming nonetheless.
