Forgive me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the Lake Mead area basically a a desert with only the Colorado River running through it? It seems like nature is reclaiming it’s own. I mean we can fight it & probably buy some extra time,but if it really is the climate returning to a former pattern humans may not be able to sustain it off the Colorado anyway. Now I did hear a interesting idea, a group was talking about building a water pipeline instead of a oil pipeline from the Mississippi River to keep Powell & Mead full. That would be quite a undertaking though because we wouldn’t want to introduce any invasive species of fish into the lakes and river, but something for the engineers to think about.
@@manxkin see that’s a valid question/point also. I don’t have all the answers,I’m not a Scientist or a Engineer, I was just asking a question about a suggestion someone else had.Maybe the answer is to let it return to it’s natural state.The only thing is if that happens where does the the drinking water come from?People lived along it’s banks before but only a fraction of the population of today.They certainly have much to work out.
By diverting the water of the Mississippi River, you will only repeat the same mistakes done to the Colorado River and the next river to dry up may be the Mississippi River. We don't know exactly what will happen with this global warming or climate change. It seems like people have not learned their lesson at all! Don't mess with the balance of nature or even dare to change it or you will regret it in the end! The consequences may come sooner than later!
At 15 minutes 15 seconds you can see a boat surrounded by water proving water levels are up .. other videos showed the boat was out of water by 10 or more feet in the past ....... czcams.com/video/5tUAcR9csB4/video.html
there are many people talking about hail mary's ideas to save the river rather than accept the reality, in 10 years from now, we will see if we should have kept talking about hair brained schemes or accepted the truth of climate change and buidling farms and cities in the desert is the problem that cant be fixed.
The levels today on July 9th is 1,042.22. Takes 10 days to drop about 1 feet of water at Lake Mead according to the official website's graph. 1042.22 minus 965 feet to reach dead pool status. That's 77.22 feet times 10 days gives us 772 days (about 2 year and some change) left till mayhem (instability) reaches across the region. Water will not reach millions in the south western states. The electric turbine generators stop working at 1050 feet and we are below this. These turbines gives power to 36% of Las Vegas residents. 5 turbines have been modified to operate below 1050 feet. My guess is that they will release more water from the reserves which buys us sometime to think about relocating from Vegas. It might buy only 5 years or less. You cant change your environment or habitat. Mother nature dictates all! flights across America are cancelled by the thousands due to instability thru man's pollution (trading the environment for money). The economy will not survive with the extra spending on top. Before you do anything or go out to spend, the temperatures or conditions has to be right. Las Vegas is building another casino at the south end of the strip. They will be in for a big surprise!!! GET READY!!! Prepare or you will be sorry.
Las Vegas is a fool's paradise. The entire Southwest has been overrun by Snowbirds and Easterners with little regard that they live in a desert, and now the population that depends on Lake Mead and the Colorado River for water has grown tenfold since it open. I live in Missouri, and instead of sucking our water resources dry, you should be desalinating water from the Pacific via California. Closer and the supply is endless. Saudi Arabia desalinates millions of gallons and has flowers in their highway medians. But no doubt the California and Oregon ecoterrorists aren't about to let that happen.
Heartbreaking and deeply worrisome and yet you have produced a video that is a work of art.
Thank you for posting this your video, it was one of the better videos, just in the way to did it, you captured it all with a view.
Beautiful drone footage and a great music track over it. Well done.
Nice drone video 👍

And then what happens to the Mississippi River?

Good thing there is a tunnel at the very lowest point so we can get the very last drop of water out of lake Mead.
NOT "IF",.."WHEN"
It never should have been done in the first place, the river should have been left alone
It’s almost like water isn’t supposed to exist in the desert 🙄

Not to mention the thousand of illegal aliens that may head to that area that will consume water
Start packing!

That about Death Valley
Why dont they just open up the damn and fill up lake mead
The Hoover Dam on the Colorado River is what created lake Mead and holding Lake Mead in. No dam, no lake.
Close Las Vegas, what's the issue here?
@Delicious Don Turbulento Nicely articulated.
I believe it is purposely being drained
Yes something is definitly draining that lake.
Agenda 2030 The Great Reset The Plandemic The future orchestrated collapse of the economy ....all by design. Good to see those who are aware.
leaking into the Mead Slope fault
I totally agree
Well, that is how a reservoir works. Someone manages the output of the dam.
Ooooh, flying a drone on park service land? uh uh ahhh… no, no, no…
I was far away at a view point before the federal lands and didn’t go over the water… it’s ok
Click bait.
Not even close to dead pool.
