    The important thing to take into consideration is the water level always accelerates as it goes down because its not like a proportional glass with equal volumes at each level its like a martini glass. So when the lake is full, 1 foot of water may be 10 of billions of gallons but when its 1/4 full 1 foot of water may only be a million gallons. (not actual numbers)

      Lake is shaped like this V.
      With very gentle slopes at top.
      So now, level may drop 30 or 40 feet per year.
      Detail topography of lake per foot and some math will show how many acre feet per each 1 foot layer.
      But it doesn't look good.

System nie był przygotowany na to . Następna kwestia, wzrost produkcji rolnej i przemysłowej, brak opadów bo zwyczajnie jest lato jak co roku . Klimat się nie ociepla tylko zmienia . Nie jest stały . To co mieliśmy do tej pory było anomalią ,klimat był stały od 100 lat ....co to jest 100 lat w dziejach ziemi ...nic . Cała ta bajka o ociepleniu klimatu jest bzdura , głupotą i debilizmem . .

As it gets shallower the drop will be faster. Evaporation also speeds up as there more and more shallows that heat.

    As the lake is wider at the surface than it is at the bottom, even if water consumption remains consistent the level drop will accelerate as it continues. I'm no expert but given how fast the water level has been dropping i think a 20 foot drop by the end of the year is a pretty conservative estimate.

    Always look forward to your videos. My dad raised my brother’s and me on the Platte river in Nebraska. I taught my kids to hunt and fish and they are now teaching their kids to the same. The circle of life. Great video as always.

    Love from England, loving your lake Mead updates 👍 something tells me the recession of the lake isn't entirely natural, given they're trying to squeeze everybody on the planet.
    Great work boys, keep the content coming 😎

      Whenever people ask me if I think climate change is real, I say absolutely. They are changing the climate every day on purpose. Squeezing us out, as you say. Shut down rain, shut down agriculture, and the population problem seems to work itself out naturally.

    I used to live in Vegas and I came across your guy’s videos recently and really enjoy them! Thank you for putting out such great content and educational stuff especially the Lake Mead water levels! I really do think Lake Mead is drying up much faster than people realize!

    Thanks for the update guys. I first started watching because of the water level updates but now I enjoy the fishing tips and other content. I want to continue watching the update but would also like to see more fishing tips and tech. Thank you for what you do.

    I keep wondering if there isn't a leak somewhere, filling up a massive underground aquifer, cavern or something and nobody has noticed.

    As the surface area of the lake continues to decrease, you should expect the lateral distance between annual water marks and lower rate (measured in feet) to increase.

    I love watching your channel! You guys do a great job. I'm a Fisher- woman from Michigan and enjoy your fishing videos. Makes me happy that fishing in the desert is possible. My daughter's live in AZ, one in Mesa and one in Dolan Springs. Keeping an eye on the water levels at Lake Mead through you is awesome! Keep up the good work guys!
