The funny thing is, that Hoover Dam was built in 1936 and Glen Canyon Dam was built in 1955 with Antique plumbing? Really....Then why doesn't Hoover Dam have the same problem?
@@Plutogalaxy technology is supposed to get better over time, not digress over 20 years. Who made the plans? Who approved the plans and funding? Was it the highest quality bidder or the lowest price?

In the meantime California Governor Newscum can’t account for $24 Billion spent on “the homeless crisis” and he just got another $190+million more for the homeless crisis today. In the meantime America’s infrastructure crumbles.
@goldfieldgary yes it does but the amount of the green river that we use here is a very very small amount of the total amount of water in the green river
If the water level has dropped then why release water? This story has me scratching my head over this and how it will increase costs to Utahns. Everybody downstream should pay. The water that feeds into the Wasatch Front comes from the East and not the South East.
It’s been 30 years 👴🏻 since I have forgotten the title and author of a seminal work about the West’s water crisis. If you can help me I’d appreciate it. “Silent Spring” by S Sontag was telling us what Chevron, Exxon, and texaco knew. Today we never see flocks of hundreds or thousands of birds aloft
My friend out of high school in ohio..helped to build the Dam..in the 50s. One of his jobs was dynamiting for $4.00 per hr. Otherwise workers lifes were on mark. He lived in Page in a company owned mobile Home.he and other workers were proud. Of the dam Approx 4 yrs ago i drove him there.. It was spectacular. But all things must be repaired looked into with age..EVEN HUMANS. Hes now almost 85 With dementia. Cant remember alot these days..but I did tell him this story BLESSINGS
Ask the Republican Utah government. They are the ones responsible for applying for the federal money available. Maybe the people of Utah should actually vote in a state government that wants to help the state rather than dictate what women can and can't do with their own bodies. But alas, all you guys always do is blame the wrong people.
This in the 80s would be a huge issue, but fastforward to now and creating a scare of the water supply and there has been insoection after inspection saying that everything is alright until "uh oh"? Rollout the law suits throughout the 2030s, thats madness. Then allowing it to be reported as a potential crisis? Research studies for nearly killing a population. That construction team should have been there maintaining things since the 90s.
doesn't make sense to me. what is this guy talking about. why would he try to open temporary bypass tubes that were not designed to be opened???? sound very very fishy!!!!

Billions of dollars for the "infrastructure" bill, and this is what we get.
It was all stolen and used for illegal alien housing and monthly stipends…
No we got 100million illegals that we are paying for. Water is a 1 world issue get with the program
Too much water going down to Lake Mead they don’t want to say it, but that’s the problem
What city in Utah gets water from Glen Canyon?
That's what I was wondering.
None Utah uses very little water from lake Powell or the Colorado River
Utah does, however, get water from the Green River, which is a tributary.
@goldfieldgary yes it does but the amount of the green river that we use here is a very very small amount of the total amount of water in the green river
Why didn't you just say, that they want to fill up Mead.
How does this affect the entire states water and have water cuts. Most of the states doesn't even use water from lake Powell
Lose water in one place and you have to get it from somewhere else
@ImprovmanZero that's not even possible in this area are you familiar with the area at all
@@Clawson_customs Tanker trucks exist
I’m sorry, but people in the Wasatch front don’t get water from Powell. The front is 400 miles to the north.

The wasatch front gets water from the GSL watershed and an aqueduct from strawberry.. huh??
Sounds like that 10% for the Big Guy is due.
Sounds like the people who rely on lake Powell and lake Mead should worry about water cuts.
It would have been better to just let the man talk; no one cares about your local reporters.
I think they can 3-D print a new dam and place it in front

Silent Spring was by Rachel Carson, not Susan Sontag.
@@isocarboxazid thank you.
Smells fishy to me.
Why are we just now hearing this? Hasn’t the water been low low for years now?
Have a independent researcher investigate this.

Yo!! What happened to that democrat passed $1+ TRILLION infrastructure money?!?!

Drain it
I got an idea, stop spending billions going to space, spend it right here on earth.
Drain it.
That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard
