  • Lake Mead is drying up as climate change worsens. The vast reservoir has fallen by 150 feet in the past 20 years. Now, parts of the lake many assumed would always be underwater are emerging, bringing sunken boats and even bodies to the surface. NBC News’ Jacob Ward reports from Lake Mead where everyone is scrambling to adapt.

      How much of the things found emerging from Lake Mead are things people are just deferring thinking about? Murder and drowning victims, sunken boats, old installations... None of those seem to be something the individuals that put them there are deferring addressing in the, "out of sight, out of mind" viewpoint.

    This is not due to "the big city in the desert etc". The fact is that there are mega drought cycles that have taken place for millennia. This is one of them. Geological history shows this. These mega droughts hit this area and last for 75 to 100 years. The sources that feed into Lake Mead have all but dried up. No source water, no lake water replenishment.

    • @NymbusCumulo928
      @NymbusCumulo928 Год назад +3

      The flood and drought cycles you're talking about are much, much longer than a few decades.
      Higher temperatures = more evaporation.
      More agriculture (almonds and soybeans mostly) = less water.
      It's a combination of climate change and poor resource management.
      Drought cycles play an incredibly small part in this problem.

      physics/engineering and reality are not really a factor and money can fix it the problem however also money is the problem or more specifically greed, we already have the tech for massive desalination facility's and there are several kinds that can be used and the world is covered in sea water so we have all the water we could ever need, the problem is profit and it simply is not profitable for company's to build the facility's as it would be much more expensive than traditional water so ether they would need to sell at cost or at a profit which would price many out. It can be done and many country's have already done it and it usually takes government intervention and billions, the United Emirates for example is a very rich country and they build many desalination facility's and they now have so much water they are literally dumping it into dry dead areas to turn them in to lush green lands

    Ok, I could be wrong, but that lady claims the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter so all of the water that should be in lakes and reservoirs is going to be suspended in the air. Yes, there is a huge drought going on, but in other parts of the country, there's HUGE flooding going on. The water is just in another place.

      Places that are hot and dry are not automatically in a state of drought. A drought occurs when there is less than average precipitation for that climate. If a desert gets the expected amount of rain in a year, then that desert is not experiencing drought, despite being hot and dry. The desert in the video IS experiencing a drought, because it is drier than it should be.

    We blame global warming instead of reasons right in front of us. Sure, we have created environmental damage. There’s no question about that. But We also foolishly squander the water we have by continuing to develop communities like Las Vegas, Mesquite, and St George. One day future historians will look back at us and ask, “what were they thinking”? Spreading drinking water from Lake Powell and Lake Mead onto a thirsty desert. For what? Golf courses and casinos and avarice.

      Before people and cities. This water flowed into the ocean. There was no way to foresee the Rocky & Sierra mountains going dry.
      People like you focus on the deserts as if water comes from the rain that falls in the desert. Water comes from the Colorado river, that's fed by what is normally a very wet and snow covered Rocky Mountains.
      If lake Itasca started to dry up, so would the Mississippi River, and central US would be experiencing the same problem. That scenario is unfathomable, well so was the idea of the Colorado river drying up.
