Good to see the water coming back. Was looking dismal there for a while

[@brentrosencrans3968]

It's man made. The faucet can be turned on to fill it up and the plug can be pulled to drain it. There's no crisis.

I was optimistic things were looking up but now I realize we are a LOOOOOONG way away. We need multiple snows like we had in 2023 to get this thing back up to capacity.

[@joshgamingvlogs5203]

As someone who lives in Georgia, this was an interesting video to watch. Was hoping to see more information about water though.

[@WomanRoar]

Thank you so much for the updates. I was worried about Arizona and Nevada for a while.

[@DMAN-o2e]

Why be worried about Nevada...is there something you know?

[@Cyrus992]

Best video to show why Las Vegas should keep growing (differently). Grow more food indoors

I’m not entirely sure what this is supposed to mean

They robbed Peter to pay Paul - this was a temporary measure, Not sustainable and will be gone in a year or two…. Then back to worrying if the hydro plant has enough to work. It’s a stop gap measure at best.

[@bryontharp5790]

They were rising for a couple weeks I was out there today and it s gone down 10 feet in a week

[@tylerrue3108]

LV doesn't use anywhere near as much water as the surrounding states do. Ironically, the city of excess is a beacon of resource recycling, and is largely self sustaining as far as water and power go. My wife and I moved out of LV in 2022, concerned that water levels were dropping too low and could make our pool, and therefor our property, obsolete. We didn't want to risk it. Sad to have left, but happy to hear Lake Mead is making some recovery.

[@DMAN-o2e]

You actually thought S. Nevada(Las Vegas) has water issues...wow. The water in the reservoir isn't even owned by Nevada.

[@DanielWatson-vv7cd]

Pumping runoff water from either Greenville Mississippi or Memphis Tennessee to Durango Colorado could help reduce flooding in the eastern U.S. while recharging the desert western region (Colorado River) with water.

[@crosstolerance]

YES THIS!

[@manw3bttcks]

Completely impractical

[@DanielWatson-vv7cd]

@@manw3bttcks Is the Alaskan oil pipeline impractical?

[@DMAN-o2e]

It is impractical, besides, the environmental lobby will never allow it and they've stated as much. Also, why transfer water all the way from that region when you could just transfer water from the Arkansas river in Colorado, which obviously makes it's way into the Mississippi?

I can explain it too; It rained, don’t take no rocket scientist to figure that one out!

[@BwInNewJersey]

Clearly.

[@Slipmahoney21]

Actually heavy snowfall did it.

[@michaelb6529]

There are "Pacific Ocean evaporation technologies" that could provide ALL the fresh water California needs and not requiring ANY water from the Colorado River system.

[@100pyatt]

How much has it risen ??

[@Starship007]

Good thing lake Powell is filling lake mead. But poor lake mead taking the hit

[@Ricky40369]

Quit using the water for ethanol production.

[@hewi1352]

Stop using the water for almond production, lawns, golf courses and swimming pools.

[@poohbear1647]

It’s only renting the water, you’ll get it back- I promise

[@GunRunner3]

The problem is supply (by nature) and demand (by people) it's not complicated and it will continue until we address the people problem. Does that sound familiar? Certain people (environmentalists) cry and threaten us with existential disasters but they refuse to look at the one staring them in the face. Either that or they're too stupid. Where is the water from all that ice melt going?

[@MrWeezeloner]

Actually 80% of the water from Colorado River is used for agriculture. Only 20% is used by people.

[@Essentials2018]

Please compare the same pics. Any honest presentation takes into effect all Colorado River dams. And Meade increases as Glen Canyon recedes. The Southwest is in grave trouble.

[@DMAN-o2e]

No it's not...that the comment you get when you know very little about the subject.

[@Essentials2018]

@@DMAN-o2e WAKE UP!

[@DMAN-o2e]

@@Essentials2018 Dude, you wake up! You know virtually nothing about what's going on within the lower Colorado basin. The southwest doesn't have potable water issues, what it has is over irrigation of agriculture-feeding you, which has been cut by 2maf starting this water year. That Ag is contributing to the food supply(yours) of over 700 million people worldwide. Now that allocations have been reduced, the system will slowly recover. Yeah, it may take years, likely decades, by agreements have been made to stabilize the system. But we both know you don't have any clue about the dynamics of the Colorado...just an emotional response on the internet. Typical in this era. When will you "WAKE UP"?

[@ejkk9513]

Stupidity knows no bounds when partisan hackery gets involved in people's lives. You do know that 90% of our politicians are bought through legal bribery? The dems support doing something about climate change because they're being lobbied by companies that want clean energy to take over. At least that has some material benefits for the planet and our future survival. Republicans are 100% owned by the oil companies. Some dems are also owned by the oil industry. Just not as much. Politicians ONLY move when lobbyists tell them to move. They do nothing for us unless what we want is what lobbyists want. You really have to understand how deep the corruption goes.

[@mikemerlo4156]

Climate change is nothing but a pyramid scheme being played out across the world. It will continue as long as there is money to be made off it's back.

[@Slipmahoney21]

Until the next Republican possible presidential candidate.

[@robertspendlove7508]

Glen Canyon dam managers: "Hey, the water level is getting low and I'm danger of not having enough to run the turbines we need to do a high flow release of water from the dam to prevent this." Makes sense. In a Biden admin clown world.

Lake mead is a man made Lake. The only environmental damage has been the flooding of the basin when the hoover dam was built in the 1930s. Low waters is a good thing as it restores the landscape back to its original form.

[@sidmelban4753]

What a da

[@AxiomSama]

This is not the bigger picture. Couple years from now it'll be a lower level again.

[@DMAN-o2e]

Actually only if the region has a meteorological drought during that time, as allocations have been cut by 2maf. It could just as likely be higher in a couple of years, so unless you're mother nature, nobody really knows.

[@jsl964]

POLITICAL AS USUAL. KEEP GOVT OUT OF IT, Create a canal systrm from the northwest that caputure rain water runoff and diverts the excess to the needed area. Why usnt it done? Money and politics. Too many peopke making yoo much money off the shortages

[@mikemerlo4156]

Please do a video about why California, Oregan, and Washington will not build a series of resevoirs along the west coast to capture all the water being released into the ocean. Greed, stupidity, politics? It's not rocket science.

[@andyeighttre]

@mikemerlo4156 - being an Oregonian I have a few ideas. If we drained the Columbia to fill auxiliary reservoirs then all the commerce ships couldn’t make it to and from all the rivers ports and the Portland ports on the Willamette River. Completely butt fucking a large chunk of the economy. Then it would further affect the fish, which would further butt fuck the Native Americans. So you say build a damn at the mouth of it or any river that goes into the ocean. These would be 10’s of billions to trillions of dollars if it’s even doable, would end fish runs, and flood areas where a lot of people live. So yeah, seems like a bunch of easy things to navigate.
