Lake Mead water level exceeds projections.

Lake Mead's water level is defying projections and is almost 3 feet above the projected level, thanks to recent rain and snowpack in the Colorado Rockies. Lake Powell has also risen more than a foot over the last month. However, the Bureau of Reclamation predicts that Lake Mead could drop to 1,036.9 feet by the end of April, just over 9 feet lower than its current level.
