Colorado River Update for June 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Today, I talk about the significant change in water management for the Colorado River. The previous allocation of 9 million acre-feet annually has been reduced to 7.5 million acre-feet. This change is crucial for sustaining water levels in Lake Mead and other reservoirs. I'll also provide a Colorado River update, including the status of Lake Mead, Lake Havasu, Lake Mohave, Lake Powell, Blue Mesa Reservoir, Flaming Gorge Reservoir, and Lake Navajo. As of June 2024, the Rockies still hold a 73% snowpack, with expected rain but no snow in sight.

❤ THANK YOU ❤
You are welcome!
Thx D-
Lake Havasu 🌞 Az
Thank you B! Hope all is well!
@@Dobrinich all good, summers here and getting hot again. Take care 😉
Good to see a report from you Chip. Always enjoy your reports.
Thank You!!
I second that notion
Good info and good, honest commentary.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
The RainMaker was here and all is proceeding nicely.
All these years and I never knew your name! Hi Chip! Spectacular video!! 🕊❤️🕊Peace and Love🕊❤️🕊
Thank you! Hope you enjoy each and every one!
@@Dobrinich I have been trying to stay off the internet some but I still enjoy your videos! 👍👍👍
Thanks Chip! Trying to do a sediment study. Where they go when they open the gates. How far? Blah, blah, blah. A nightmare. But so is school. 😊
Good luck! I hope you find some good stuff out!
I like seeing all the lake graphs at once.
You are welcome! I worked really hard on those!
Already 43°c in Vegas looking on the weather! 🥵
Hot hot that is warmer than I like it.
Hello chip, watch your video again and look at Flaming Gorge percentage it's at 82.33% you stated 82.33 ft I had a chuckle😅 I think you are testing us to see if anybody would catch it. Have a blessed evening my friend 🙏❤
Good catch. I usually sit and prof listen and take retakes to try to take out mistakes. Goes to show no one is perfect. I had 4 retakes and missed that one. So 5 retakes takes me to a B lol. Thank you for pointing it out!
You are welcome! I always watch your reports, I don't recall catching any other mistakes over the years. You really do a super job!!! Gods blessings on you and your family 🙏❤❤
If Powell and Mead are both up over the last year, why do I see videos out there claiming the only reason Mead is up is because of the releases from Powell and in total, we have less water than we did a year ago?
Fearmongering..... Question MSM, they don't investigate anything.
We don't have less water than a year ago. Did you not look at the charts? I cannot speak for other videos as I don't watch other videos. Thank you for stopping by and checking out this one!
@@Dobrinich My point was I don't understand why other people are making videos that are obviously wrong.
Because a lot of people are relying on income from RUclips and I don't. I have a job. I just read the numbers as I get them and give my opinion on it. My numbers are from the Bureau of Reclamation.
2028 seems like an reasonable prediction regarding Lake Mead crossing the 1000 foot line. This means that the existential water crisis will arrive in the Southwest no later than 2032. Given the present condition of California it is safe to predict that California isn't going to need to worry about a water crisis until 2030 and California's own existential water crisis won't arrive until at least 2032.
The present existential water crisis on the planet is Mexico City and it might arrive as soon as June 26th, whereas there are a dozen cities in India in water crisis hoping for the monsoon to arrive just in time.
Well if you recall California went from 2017 to 2020 to drought. It then got worse in 21 and in 22 it went from bad to good. It can change fairly quickly in California.
@@Dobrinich everything might turn out well, but there's a chance that things won't turn out well. The extreme precipitation that saved the West was like winning the lottery. They might win the lottery again in five or ten years but perhaps not.
California should build more reserve capacity.
@@robertamann9066 California is building additional reserve capacity as the new reservoir was approved, last I heard.
@@Dobrinich But was that a man made problem? Consider this, 2017 Oroville topped off but within 3 years the Hyatt power plant went off line for the first time ever in 50+ years of operation. It didn't go off line before 2017 during the "mega" drought. Strange how that happened. As a Californian who lived with "drought" and remembers Gov Brown (if its Brown flush it down) first swing at forcing CA into environmentalism you have to question CA's water management.
The above brought to you from the land of fruits and nuts where wholesale pixie dust is sold, traded and consumed.
I don't live in this region but i'm very curious about it because Dr. Jill Stein claims that the Colorado river is drying up.
it was but its getting better .
@@DimiGem Ok then, thank you for clearing this up for me.
