A deal was made to xfer water from Lake Powell to Mead. They are also sending a significant amount south of Parker. There is some concern that higher temps this time of year will melt the snowpack too quickly and the drought starved tributaries will fail causing significant flooding . A lot going on to figure it out. 🤷♂️
Need to start coming up with long-term water solutions, conservation alone is not going to do it. Solutions could include piping water from states or even Canada where water is abundant to the west, desalinization plants along the CA coast, etc.
You've been trained well by the gov't to think centralized plans are the solution. But centralized plans make human civilization more fragile. The real solutions are diverse and decentralized. If systems for catching rain water from every building were common practice, that alone would probably reduce demand on centralized water utilities significantly.
Are they cleaning up all the stuff and garbage off the lake bed ? The state has this chance to clean this beautiful lake and make it better. Then work on rain.
I'v qlways wanted to go there. Then it went dry like all the lakes downthere in the hewt it gets now. This is the yr. It may never have this much.water.again.
Can someone explain to me WHY has Lake Mead has had no clean up of all the boats that have sunk? Wasn’t this drought a great opportunity to get some heavy equipment out there and clean up all the sunken debris that is exposed? I thought maybe some environmentalists would have been out there removing some of the old boats. I’m now upset with myself because I never asked some of the bloggers WHY they never even organized a clean up for Lake Mead where volunteers would come out and donate their time. I know Lake Mead is so sticky about what goes on there. I just think it would have been worth it to try. (If I was young I know I would have donated my time. 👍)
@@JamesMoVlogs no one knows that for sure. Even the experts are cautiously optimistic. This is possibly just a one year event. We can't let our guard down.
Either you're a TROLL, or you don't understand cloud seeding. People have triggered real rain by dropping, not some dangerous poison, but just common dust over heavy clouds. Moisture clings to dust particles. The particles attract moisture, gains weight and falls to the earth as rain. Atmospheric dust often triggers natural rain. It's a proven, decades old science. You ought to do a little research. You might actually "fix stupid."
Was there a year ago and the level was below the intakes for Hoover's turbines. Great to see the level coming back again.
😎👊
As long as they keep building homes in the Vegas Area, Water management will have a hard time keeping up the water levels as well....
Vegas is one of the cities that does the best with water recycling. It’s California stealing it lol
California drains most of it, and then uses only some of that letting it waste. Terrible management
@@JamesMoVlogs can’t steal what’s already yours 🤷♂️😂😂
Deals a deal 😑🥴
Thank you for your update!
It’s so important for us to take care of Lake Mead! 🙏👍👏
Absolutely!! 😎👊
Finally a good winter. Great news!
Best fly by visual out there. Thanks
😎👊👊
What a gorgeous video. Nice to see clean water.
😎👊👊

Very interesting
Looks like a good place to visit someday
it's amazing there definitely a must stop

It was spotless around the marina
It starts with the people who visit the lake to pick up there trash!
really cool video man! just found your channel last week as i bought a kubota kx57-4 your videos are great
Heck yeah! Congrats & thank you!
That’s great 🙏🏾
The waitress at lakeside cafe said the water has come up 6 ft. as of the date of this video (Mar. 18) 🥰
Great video! Thanks! Beautiful video. When was it taken?
March 16th filmed 😎👊
“Look at the little black guy”…..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The UAE makes it rain once a week with cloud seeding. The US could do the same to help fill the lake back up.
They've been seeding since the 1800's lol
Even with seeding it wouldn't help much because the snowpack is a huge part of the equation too.
Seeding only works if there are clouds to seed. Most of the time there aren't any clouds over the West.
It’s god awful expensive California can’t even afford to heat their homes
Desalination would be a more reliable option.
I'v qlways wanted to go there. Then it went dry like all the lakes downthere in the hewt it gets now. This is the yr. It may never have this much.water.again.
It’s going to rise like crazy this spring/summer
If they were smarter with management it would start going up again. It's not that dry compared to normal.
Lake Mead is a reservoir
no way

For those of us in the Midwest, you’re the first person to explain why the monsoon rains over the past 3 months have had little effect on Lake Meade.
It always rises every year at this time. Mead and Powell still in very bad shape. One year is not going to fix 23 years of drought and overuse.
Our snow pack this year is record breaking it will be a good year
@@JamesMoVlogs no one knows that for sure. Even the experts are cautiously optimistic. This is possibly just a one year event. We can't let our guard down.
Cloud seeding is a screwed up idea. Can’t fix stupid. Who knows what else that will screw up

Please spell out the reasons why this is a bad idea to us ignorant.
@@middletech don’t know where to begin or end. But trying to control or manipulate Mother Nature never seems to have positive effects.
@@hhazelhoff1363 That’s just an emotion and not logic.
@H Hazelhoff A dam and reservoir and the power it produces is all a manipulation of "mother nature."
don't forget to get a permit to take pictures of the lake and post on-line... the liberals will be mad at you.
