Based on my last visit to the Hoover dam, draining it would be little or no problem at all these days. Water levels are incredibly low.


Caveat that it would require trucking in water to Las Vegas it was suggested to take advantage of the drought to work on the sediment levels and do potential maintenance. Not something you can just decide on the spur of the moment though.

A sadder thing is that while the Marinas that are now on dry land have a chance to do some upgrades/maintenance, they have no cash since they are very day to day based on the cash inflow from slip fees. That is a tragedy I think, you could completely rebuild the piers and develop a much more durable infrastructure for future use I would expect.
