People like to freak out but everything is cyclical. There will be times when it seems the water will never come back up and times when we’re used to higher levels. I’m sure there’s specific problems that need working on but everything will be ok.

Good 2 hear Lake Mead will rise 33 feet due to snow pack; but it ain't enuf. Hasn't been able to replenish Colorado River 2 sustained comfortable level of 70% full.
I had a great visit to the Hoover Dam but you could see immediately how much water was lost. Glad to see it on the rise will have to go back to see it.
Everyone don’t worry.!!! They will waste and give away every tiny drop of water and have you guys back to drought stage before you ever get used to swimming.!!
The guys that built and maintain this for all of us are the real heroes. I hope everyone appreciates how water management like this keeps us from starvation, keeps the livestock fed, everything in the ecosystem. Without them half the west would be a desert, unable to grow more than a fraction of what it does today. God Bless America and the men and women who built it, black, white, brown, and yellow. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
This system is also the problem. Better water management is needed. Moving large amounts of water like this gives the false security of infinite water. Farmers and everybody else need to proceed as if water was still in short supply with better irrigation systems and conservation.
Real hero's would not destroy the the peoples lives at the head waters, kill there livestock and wildlife postpone spring planting with massive snow accumulations recorded at 4 times the normal accumulation thru admitted weather modification. You are IGNORANT of the facts and have no real insight as to how one area is being destroyed to unnaturally benefit another !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we just need to get the Saudis to stop raising Alfalfa in Arizona and exporting the water in it to Saudi Arabia, but they aren't the only ones who use Colorado River water to raise crops for cattle. Most of the water is used for raising crops and most of those crops are being raised for cattle feed. Cut that in half and we could start restoring Lake Mead and Lake Powell to more sustainable levels.
Saudis? lol How about we start using the first level of common sense to cut the use in half. Quit watering (especially with sprinklers) during the damn day....
The lower Colorado is totally dependent on upstream snow pack. There is no other way for the basin to replenish itself than upper snow levels. It’s such a simple equation.
All this Lake Mead 'dropping' feels so much like the nearly vanished Aral sea. Too much diverting water for irrigation is good and all for growing crops but if the end result at the 'end' is disastrous .
It scares the hell out of me when I hear human beings are attempting to manage something all of us can't live without. I suppose we all need to give them credit for trying. That said, all of this depends on something we can't predict. That is why we are in the predicament we are in.
And how much will it drop when the Lake Mead water (mis)managers decide to release it based on some formula or "management" plan that is out of touch with reality because it was written 50, 70, 100 years ago? Since they will be (hopefully) draining sediment from Lake Powell, will Lake Mead be doing the same to to get rid of this extra sediment load? Do they do anything to augment the disturbance of sediment on the bottom to increase the amount of sediment moved? Like a big "stirring spoon". Or some sort of "trawler" dragged over the bottom to loosen more sediment. Even using a big boat (tug boat?) to drag heavy anchor chains would seriously disturb bottom sediment. How much will this release from Lake Powell specifically increase the level of Lake Mead, separate from the additional snow melt?
You must remember most the engineers and manages were recently appointed not because of their competence and experience but because of their colour or sex.
How crazy with all the conflicting laws, the right to drink water, farmers, recreation, wildlife, urban water needs, archaeology and California not giving a inch at the bargaining table.. It appears nothing go will come of a little extra water. I think Huge change is needed to the point that all these laws are erased from the books.. Whoever manages this water resource should manage it and all the other noise should stop.. Other wise many losers will create a mess.. At some point water rationing by one agency should become the norm.. In the 60’s Mexico sued USA for lack of water in Baja… The result was a huge desalination plant built at rocky point Mexico.. Perhaps californis should get more of their water this way.. In the 1880’s LA county bought water and land in Owens valley.. and Mono lake…over 300 miles away.. In those days water was needed for citrus not people.. Shortly after this Forest land was realized as important for water.. By the 1890’s forest reserves were created and in 1905 The Forest Service was created to keep forests in federal ownership and thus the feds owned many watersheds.. Teddy Roosevelt felt it was a crime for a county to control politics 300 miles from their border.. Much of the eastern sierra water is owned by LA county.. Go Figure
GTFO of here Cali. Your government is tearing down dams for the "environment" and years ago refused a deal for Nevada to build a desalination plant for them at no cost to Call. Your state sucks because the morons in it vote with their "hearts" and not their brains. They deserve to suffer until they wise up.
What is alternative water sources could pipe excess to Powell, using solar electric farms to provide the power to pump water into this reservoir. Then rebate the electric used back that grid, instant solor battery.
If they want to conserve water. They should shut down 2 generator discharges. With the amount of solar and power stations going in. It should be enough power generated to cover those two discharges being shut down. Or is solar and wind power just a fallacy.
Shutting down 2 generators will do nothing to conserve water. Generating electricity does not use up water. The electricity gets generated for free when the water is sent to downstream customers.
When the sun goes down so does the solar like to 0, wind you can't even count or rely on it such a small amount generated. So where you gonna get the juice to watch TV, play video games and light all the things that are used during evening hours. Guess what ace it comes from hydro,coal, the atomic plants, kerosene powered emergency turbines etc. 😮
If Las Vegas stops the building hotels after hotels and people start caring about the water shortage it should help lake Mead more than ever. We don't need no more hotels
I believe that Mother Nature is and always has done her part. The bureau of reclamation as with all government agencies has near zero accountability to the public and is in bed with large corporations. They should know when making stupid statements like “it’s going to take more than a record year” crap, and state the true reason the lake is and will remain low, simply put it’s harder to fill a bucket with a hole in it.

No they are paid to wreck our watet and power so "global private saviours" can step in and "help" us all providing desalination and windpower. Its so transparent.
Meanwhile California is flooding as its record snow melt makes its way to the ocean!! People, the problem is very very poor planning. The fact is there are far few acres being farmed with much less water today than when the Colorado River compact was created. What’s expanded is the population and its demand. What hasn’t been developed is alternative resources like dams and more desalination plants on the coast. So, don’t blame agriculture…. Blame the politicians who continue to divide a finite pie instead of growing a bigger one.
Im sure there is some ways this is a good thing, but it seems like a bandaid to a serious problem. Which can falsely relieve the well founded concern that could bring action to massively reduce the absurd waste of water we use until it all crashes at once and many suffer.
@@markriddle3282 we have millions of people needs electricity too Lake Powell feeds Phoenix Tucson half of New Mexico to make worse Saudi Arabia has huge chunk land in Arizona growing hay and that hay is going back to their country also Lake Powell feeding water to Los Angeles for drinking water so Lake Mead can wait another 20 years
The benefit of water downstream, electricity, and monetary gain in no way compensates for the wild river and natural canyons destroyed in the process. Those who say this has done so much for the ecosystem really mean to say the economy system, for profit has replaced a cherished legacy that supported wildlife, plant growth, and the natural course that made the wild rivers irreplaceable. Instead of the natural course of the canyons and rivers providing wildlife with refuge and forage, not to mention the loss of Native American rock art and sacred burial sites, it is now men who dictate the course of the rivers. A natural heritage has turned into a political and financial pursuit and there are few who remember the beauty and magnificence that men have drowned.
Try looking at a map, the water always goes through both of these dams and their respective lakes/reservoirs way before it ever gets diverted to California. They are not releasing 39000cfs out of the lower lake.
