I've found some information on current levels (as well as historical levels for Lake Mead). Lake Mead was at 51% of capacity as of October 31, 2006.
Here is the link that will show water levels(updated monthly) with history back to original fill; http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/mead-elv.html BrianAlex (talk) 17:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Third Intake Tunnel 

message: The following citation - given to support claims of "multiple wet years" in the 1970s - 1990s "filling both lakes to capacity", and record lake level in the summer of 1983 - has been relocated here, as it: a) cannot support any claim carrying through the 1990s when produced in 1983, and; b) does not indicate any record level in lake height being reached in the summer of 1983.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This page should not be speedily deleted because I see no reason stated to delete it in the first place. I added name change info, which happened in 1947, and cited source. In 1964, the Memorandum of Understanding between the NPS and Reclamation was replaced by an Act of Congress, and the NPS took over the entire operation of the reservoir. Maybe I didn't state that clearly enough? Glad to talk about this, cordially yours, Tom RRFWTommartin (talk) 22:15, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contested deletion 

message: Under the Wikipedia dictum "be bold" I removed the detailed, and now obsolete, historical annual rise and falls of Lake Mead. I replaced it with the current situation. I added two Landsat Images released today. That sort of detail belongs in the Southwestern North American megadrought article. Nick Beeson (talk) 21:30, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
