Las Vegas Wash carrying treated waste water to Lake Mead. Lake Las Vegas is behind the dam in the background. #30166496
Description
The image shows the Las Vegas Wash carrying treated sewage and waste water to Lake Mead. Las Vegas, and the surrounding cities, secondarily treat waste water before releasing it into a wash which carries the water to Lake Mead (to the left out of view). Along the way the wash creates wetlands which further purify the water. Lake Las Vegas is behind the dam in the background and the waste water flows beneath the lake and not into it.
