Canyon Lake in Texas has sunk to its lowest water level since its creation in the 1960s, a decline attributed to the state’s prolonged drought conditions. The reservoir, which serves various purposes including flood control and recreation, has experienced a sharp drop in water levels due to the lack of rainfall, forcing the closure of boat ramps. The persistent drought, affecting numerous states in the South and West, has raised concerns about impending water crises unless effective conservation measures are implemented.
