Arizona reservoir nearly vanishes after snowpack collapse triggers massive fish kill

Arizona's San Carlos Reservoir has dwindled to less than 1% of its capacity due to a severe lack of snow in the Gila River watershed. The drastic decline in water levels has caused a massive fish kill, prompting an indefinite closure of the reservoir. Heavy summer rains may potentially help the reservoir recover from its current state. The reservoir's condition is a result of the historic snowpack collapse in the region.
