Water levels in Lake Mead, located about 30 miles east of Las Vegas in the Colorado River, have surpassed predictions following four months of winter storms in California that began in December.

As of April 10, it was measured at more than 1,046 feet, which is approximately three feet higher than what was projected for the end of March, and 10 feet higher than what was projected for the end of April. On the same day last year, it was measured at around 1,060 feet.
