Good job with all the details needed to understand the eruption. Thank you
watch chinatown for movie version of the LA Aqueduct... power and greed led to the destruction of mono lake. david gaines and fellow bird buddies stood up for mono lake and we slowly but surely are restorin what the LA Department of Water and Power destroyed, in addition to owens valley and owens lake.
By the way, Mono Lake smells FINE. I lived nearby for over15 years, knowing the entire creek network, swimming in that and every lake in the region, skiing, snowboarding, ( unfortunately having a hand in building some houses, which, when i realized what was being done, switched to solely repais!), some climbing, hiking, up most nearby mountains. Years later, when coming down from wilderness with the Wolf (who had tragically been born captive, and to whom i gave a decade of trying to give a life fulfilling for his species), we would encounter in Lee Vining and surrounds, people from around the world. The sole stench that occurs is from human perfumes, detectable from 100 meters and more along with cigarettes, same. The smells of life, death, nature, are not in the least offensive, especially when compared to the acquired odors humans put on themselves. The lake is magnificent in all seasons, and even the decrepit gold mining town of Bodie ( about 188_- 1930) ran ferries across the vaster lake to more easily access the Jeffrey Pine forest by the craters, and the shortened trail ( not having to top the 8000+ ft pass) The Mono Lake committee's efforts were the first onsite activists in memory, and aroused the support of so many in Mammoth and June area - they were the first environment group i ever supported, and did even inpire the efforts against the "ski circus" destruction of Sierra Nevada in the Mammoth and June Lakes area, now protected from it by wilderness designation of Upper Owens. Other recovery and prevention of destruction movements were informed and inspired by Mono Lake Committee work. So, not only the Mono Basin ( and the seasonally migratory Mono indians had netted and eaten those flies in recipes. Humans are descended from insectivores, and the peculiar rejection of nature found in some comments below are quite historically Unnatural, the theme underlying my entire comment.) but also both successful and unsuccessful work to preserve the entire Sierra region were inspired by MLC! ( i remember some visiting hollywood people, starlet saying "what's all this Momo Lake thing?" At least she asked)
Yes Mono Lake (mo-no, not mon-o) has been saved but only to a certain point. When I was a kid, back in the 50s, our family used to drive up 395 to go camping in Yosemite. I can remember seeing that lake completely full with boat docks, and sailboats out on the lake. It was a regular resort. Le Vining was a hopping little town. Over the years it got lower and lower and lower, and all the boat docks, resorts, sailboats were gone. The lake became a giant salt pond. I also remember Owens lake had water in it. Although the Mono Lake Committee has helped, it'll never be the same. Owens lake is a complete disaster! The entire L.A. basin is 10 times bigger, and more populated than when I was a kid growing up there. I live in N. CA now, and visit Mono Lake once in a while.
Whhhhaaaaaaaatttt
Needs a dam 🦫
First tell people to stop having more than one baby. We need to 1/4 our world population.
God said be fruitful and multiply, take it up with Him.
Did they drain the June lakes again??
Hope the camera comes back soon!
Very good, that 395 highway is so cool.
God is saving the lake. Nothing we can do is going to help.
It’s thanks to the TOOTH fairy. Prove it isn’t.

Save mono lake from LA
Well it turned out to be bad scientific practice
Trip between Tahoe & Mono is other-worldly in winter, also
1st saw it 1969
China can’t wait till they can strip mine Mono Lake…
Could the most well done piece I've ever seen on YT, thank you
Oh No, What Happened to my favorite LiveStream? Too Much Wind? Too Much Snow?

Is rainbow is real? Amazing!!!! Fantastic
Hi
@@me-qo9gg hi rahi
Beautiful sunrise! Beautiful MLC people 😊 I'm off to donate to giving Tuesday for Mono Lake right now!
This lake was probably much different when Los Angeles water and power started taking 3/5 of all the water flowing into it.
I visited Lee Vining in September and loved it! I would love to see another livestream
Great demonstration and lecture. It is obvious you know your stuff. Was you major geology or maybe ecology?
Your time element is way off Nora. The LA Aqueduct actual construction started in 1908. The first water flowed from Owens River to LA in 1913.
very good
Thank you for keeping this history alive. Our government can and will only do so much to save these precious places in the face of big money.
This is so beautiful! #LongLiveMonoLake
I’ve been blessed to visit Mono Lake on several occasions, twice as part of dedicated photography trips. It is my favorite place on this earth. It is magical, desolate yet full of life; as if it were a lake on the moon. Amazing place. Great video! Was pleased to support the Mono Lake Comittee by yearly membership for a few years, and that’s with living in Florida. Long Live Mono Lake!
Although I’m no longer a Mono County property owner and have retired from skiing at Mammoth, I remain a Guardian of the Lake and am happy to see the after effects of our incredible rain/snow season.
Is there any kind of fish or species in the lake? 😊
Too salty.@@YeshuaCameAndGaveUsLifeandLove
I shall pee in the lake on your behalf
@@YeshuaCameAndGaveUsLifeandLove Mono Lake has no fish, but is teeming with trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies, which sustain millions of migratory birds that visit the lake each year. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. From mono lake committee (mlc). if i remember correctly, these were food sources for the natives. ⚖⚖⚖⚖.. the mlc was able to use california's public trust statutes to force the LA Department of Water and Power(LADWP) to increase stream flow to the lake. Read Mark Risners "Cadillac Desert" and watch the movie "Chinatown" for information on wesstren water and the work of the LADWP.
Your decades of hard work and unceasing dedication is paying off.
So Sea Monkeys? Cool!
Love the stream! hope to see it online again soon :)
It's back! Thanks for letting us know. www.monolake.org/engage/webcams/
Please take this kind of fight to bring back owens lake.
Screw LA man get your own water
*PromoSM* 🔥
This is so sad and a terrible disastrous human FUBAR. I've been to Mono & June Lakes several times just to see the beauty. What's being done to restore Mono Lake back to a natural beautiful natural wonder? Along that line what about Owens Valley. Why not divert water from the canals to Owens and Mono lakes. It wouldn't have to be permanent just to help the two lakes renew themselves. Desalination plants for LA to use and give water from the canals flowing from northern California. Just look what happened to The Sultan Sea. It was once a beautiful vacation spot back in the 50s/60s then destroyed by water diversion and used farming water pumped into it. It turned into a garbage pit, all recreation was stopped and now it's a waste pit. During its hay day, there was fishing, swimming, and water skiing. One of the fish was Tilapia all the fish were killed off by the water diversion and the agriculture slurry.
So thats where all that trash comes from.
Hope the stream comes back soon!
Hi Alex, we're back online: ruclips.net/user/livedh4MSCDoPm4?feature=share
I saw a recent video that showed excess water being drained off toward the Ca city area near the 58 hwy, and last week I was traveling the 395-14 and saw water being drained off into the desert near Inyokern. It's bad enough they take the water but then to waste it into the desert is criminal.
Very interesting! Thank you!
Since Owen's Lake filled, it's smart to keep it full, it had become a toxic dust source dried so to miss it having flow implies enforcing the death of the most productive valley on the east side. Bishop was assumed to become a large destination city, the theft of water rights was encouraged by taking pot shots at farmers to help them sign, coercion was used. Restoring flow to maintain Owen's Lake can restart farming from Bishop to Lone Pine, to make the deal have LA recycle all sewage plant water as NLkTahoe has done since the 70s to not have algae blooms, do the math, save the lake by recycling LA wastewater. If algae are used to purify vs floccing chemicals 2nd step gains 30% of volume biodiesel/biocrude, from pilot/study for Gov.JanBrewer AZ, vetoed by Sen.McCain or it'd become a standard. Nice video, lived in MammothLks a while, cheers ♻️
Owens lake has not filled, it's only inches deep in a small part of it's original bounds.
@Trail_Trash Good to know, they still take too much water & need to fully recycle all water in sewage treatment plants as at NLkTahoe has since late 70s that volume re-routed to the lake. From the N.Pacific being too warm Siberian cold turns north dumps heat and moisture cools to ooze from AK to the Gulf as a cold groundhugging airmass 1200mi × 1500ft a wall-of-cold. Expect a repeat snow dump, when ocean air is drawn into the coast it hits the wall at the Sierra crest, so, since LA won't recycle it may fill anyway. If the mud crusts over the dust will be less a thought, yet, expect a repeat snow dump not a few years between them a caution, the flow can't change back until oceans cool 🍺
thanks! we watched at Panum's rim!
Why California will spend billions robbing eco systems for water when they have an entire ocean that they can use
Mono Lake Story is totally sucess story
It’s not everybody’s flavor but I regard mono county and all it’s attributes as one the of the prettiest, most scenic areas on the west end half of the continent. My summer days off are mostly spent there in Bridgeport or thereabouts watching the monsoonal thunderstorms. It’s unfortunate that LA has and will continue to do its best to destroy the entire area because some geniuses decided to build a mega city the the desert southwest and haven’t done anything to address the water needs thereof. (Aka storage of rainfall)
