kakatiya Posted June 20, 2021 Report Posted June 20, 2021 With water levels at the nation's largest reservoir hitting an all-time low, officials are preparing for what that could mean for the region's water supply. Cradled between Nevada and Arizona, Lake Mead has the potential to hold an impressive 26.12 million acre-feet of water, earning itself the title of largest reservoir in the United States in terms of water capacity -- when it's full. However, its current state reflects only a puddle of its potential. As of June 14, 2021, the reservoir formed by Hoover Dam held roughly 9 million acre-feet of water, about 36% of its full capacity after the region experienced over two decades of drought. Quote

Most of the water used in the states is for agricultural purposes , desalination is not feasible for that. My colleague from Hong Kong says they have one separate sea water system for flushing toilets and another for drinking water . Singapore buys water from Malaysia , same way Hong Kong buys from china . Quote
