The mountain west has always been either dry or very wet. Back in the early eighties there was risk of tbe damn bursting due to an over abundance of rain and snow. Fossil fuel carbon has nothing to do with precipitation and weather. If so, how do you explain the end of 3 ice ages on the globe? How do you explain tbe dust bowl drought in the 1920’s?
Looks like the water in Lake Mead goes to Las Vegas! You got money, you get water. Pretty big investment of money in Las Vegas and surrounding area! No wonder they want to drain Lake Powell to fill Lake Mead!
Most of the water in Lake Mead goes 400 miles to Southern California, mostly for agriculture, and then drinking water. ‘Cuz California politicians only build puddles in Southern California, 4 reservoirs from 165 TAF-810 TAF, compared to Lake Shasta 4,552 TAF, and N CA has 6 reservoirs over 2,000 TAF. Probably, one reason Lake Mead is higher this year is too much water right now in CA reservoirs…there should be more of them!
Southern Nevada is actually allocated the smallest amount of water from Lake Mead (2%) and we don’t use all of it either since we recycle a lot of water. A good chunk of the water goes to California. We are also obligated to let some water flow down to Mexico as well.
When the level was down....why didn't they bring a glimmer of hope, and pick up.everybodys trash.......last time I was there, it was a community dump....no plans to ever go back there
@@snfu6574 ding ding ding. Winner. It's not hard. It solves fresh water problem & also the lower salt content in the oceans. By putting the salt back pumping thevfreshninto the water systems inland.
@@arautus yes it would. @ some point you would have to stop putting the salt back into the ocean. But it would solve a problem for now plus also if we start using the agricultural techniques that Sweden came up with to use salt water for crops that several countries are using. Could save millions of gallons of water which would help even more.

Now let's not give credit where credit is due. The combo of snowfall and Reavo checking violators through their peg board . "What are you gonna do?"

Draining lake Powell is a stupid thing to do and the idiots that are promoting this are ignorant to say the least
Over 70 percent of lake mead goes to agriculture, mostly cattle feed

Take one to many fish your caught leave a ton of trash “I see nothing” seems to be the trend
There is a simple solution to the water problem on a massive scale & could easily be used to replenished rivers & lakes.
Desalination

@Voren_Kurn we'll need to resort to it eventually. It would be a massive project.

Stop letting California use water from the Colorado river and watch Lake Mead fill right back up
You lost everyone at climate change!
Everyone? Hardly.

What's with the Latino accent in the headline? That's like,..... really weird.
Put a atmospheric water generator in it since air is unlimited
Hhh
Huge...
NO
Not hardly.
Actually just a few gallons in a massive 13.8 BILLION gallon container.
What you should have said was, “Lake Mead water levels rose by 20 feet”. Your sentence was more flawed than a fourth grader’s composition level.
