The 51�Թ������App Monorail, now over 20 years old, has helped prevent traffic congestion and provide tourists with easy Strip travel. But, how much longer is it expected to last? The 51�Թ������App Convention and Visitors Authority is seeking $12M to upgrade the train to make it last until 2035. Transportation engineer Harry Teng and 51�Թ������ܿƴ� Hospitality Associate Professor Chih-Chien Chen are here to discuss both the Monorail in comparison to the Boring 51�Թ������App Loop, as well as ideal public transportation systems.

So, what will people there do if the drought gets so bad the pipes run dry? Graduate students in 51�Թ������ܿƴ�’s School of Engineering may be close to finding an answer.

Research groups at 51�Թ������ܿƴ� are working to find a solution to the scarce water situation in Southern Nevada.

“Can you imagine a day when you turn on your faucet and no water comes out?” The hypothetical question, posed by a research team at 51�Թ������ܿƴ�, is called a “Day Zero” scenario. It sounds like the plot of a doomsday apocalypse series but it’s not as unimaginable - or as far-fetched - as a Hollywood screenplay might seem.
