Just under Las Vegas' parched desert crust lies a vast aquifer system, primarily the Las Vegas Valley Aquifer. This underground water source is crucial for supplying the city’s water needs, supporting both its population and tourism. Additionally, beneath the surface are remnants of ancient lakes and geological formations that tell the story of the region's climatic changes over millennia. The interplay of these water sources and geological structures contributes to the unique landscape and ecosystem of the area.
