Vegas Water Drought!!! What You Should Know

[@intothenight9256]

Keep it comng! You guys are doing us all a tremendous service….much appreciated! God bless you! 🙏🏼

[@Rod-db8tt]

Yup really good SHTF video. However Powell controls Mead and they're holding water back for power generation issues. When water level nears a critical point within 3rd intake the flow stops at Hoover. That's when I go to Willow and shoot those big Stripers wallowing in what water is left for a food source. Seriously guys, we are starting to see chaos now with how the country is run. Very sad, retired AF and living here since '94

[@coolmotion7340]

my friend is in board meetings on the regular for our local town. she keeps saying we have water rights for farming but if we don't have water what rights do we have? haha.. the water dropping at that rate is alarming.

Would have to add, at the suggestion of pump from the Mississippi River system that was mentioned in the video: That river system itself is experiencing drought in places. Plus, you are talking about the equivalent of pumping a river, UPHILL, for 1500 miles Would make $0.50-$1 a gallon water a possibility, unless taxes subsidize (someone ELSE pays that cost) With skyrocketing energy costs..think higher. Reduced flush toilet...1.6 gallons per flush....$0.8 to $1.6 dollars, just to flush the toliet. The average use is 222 gallons per day (per household) as stated in Water and Wastes Digest. So..well, I'm sure consumers can do the math. It's pretty harsh. Even if you could keep the cost down to 50 cents, you are talking $40,500 a year water bill For those living in Vegas looking for THAT as a bailout possibility, I would suggest don't.

[@dmannevada5981]

What can be done? 16maf was allocated in 1922. In the 90's, it was discovered that the flow rate was actually closer to 13maf annually(300 year study). Unfortunately, there was nothing in the original compact to compel anyone(Ag is what I'm really saying) to reduce usage... they have an international demand for their Ag. The courts won't even hear any cases as judges have stated the Colorado Compact is legal & ratified, and that the agencies themselves have to renegotiate a new agreement voluntarily. As you see, not much movement.

Pretty impressed how well you guys are analyzing the situation as amateurs. I work as a hydrogeologist in the southwest, and we've been working on this for years. Ultimately, it comes down to TOO MANY PEOPLE attempting to live in a place that requires a lot of engineering to be livable. Is it impossible, no. But we have exceeded the practical population surviving off of the Colorado without considering a reasonable factor of safety. If everyone in the southwest just stopped watering their personal grass and filling pools (not even public parks, etc) the problem would be significantly better. But people can't see past that.

[@dmannevada5981]

YOU'RE A LIAR! You are not an hydrologist! If you were, you'd know that humans potable water consumption is roughly 12%(and going down), and that over 80% of the Colorado watershed is used to irrigate crops. As a REAL hydrologist with the BOR stated..."focusing on lawns & pools, is like a doctor focusing on your paper cut while having a gun shot wound to the chest". Must suck when you lie to the wrong person. Oh, btw: I live here in Boulder City, HQ's for the BOR's lower basin. Half my neighbors are hydrologists, engineers, managers, etc with the BOR.

[@airsearch9192]

For the last two months I've been filming an economic study of the Southwest's water situation. Everything you've said is spot on. I'd just like to add two essential facts: First, 70% of Arizona's and California's river allotment goes directly to agriculture. Second: We witnessed a majority of farmers growing forage. That means they grow food for cattle and dairy cows, much of which is exported. Forage is generally alfalfa and hay, and it requires a lot of water. If we can convince farmers to plant less "water intensive" crops then the cities will have access to far more water. Thank you. You're doing great work.

[@NickFortier]

70% just for grass? I'd check your sources. I forget the amt of food produced in Ca , something like 60% of americas food however, they're planting rice, avocado, other fruits that kill water resources. Rice in a desert, ironic, since China has been losing rice to floods in recent years

[@IamMe10-4]

Alfalfa is a desert plant, this plant can have a 25ft or more tap root. The reality is when farmers first came to AZ they only used canal water, the farmers added so much water to the water table the first large pumps installed pumped the water out and down the river. This is because even tho the plant takes the water, it also leaches back into the ground.

[@hmpz36911]

They're going to be splicing cattle DNA with camel DNA so they can save on water, lol

the same people working on this problem are responsible for the salton sea disaster. they are discussing a new ecological disaster, proposing that we try and divert water from the Mississippi. I am no alarmist, but this really is a dire situation, and the rate of depletion will likely push yet another short-sighted "solution". I am more concerned that "people are working on it" than the fact of the water dissapearing. On a side note, your family is so wholesome, and it is awesome to see the relationship you have with your son. Class acts, all of you.

@@michaelellringer5600 Entire empires have collapsed because of droughts. In the US, the Anasazi are a good example. This is no laughing matter, particularly when the folks in Washington DC are so inept. This drought could last for decades, meaning entire regions of the US will be uninhabitable. Since much of the regions affected provide most of our food and our national economy, there is very good reason to demand action now, right now. Purifying ocean water has serious drawbacks because of destruction of coastal ecology. Current technology that draws moisture from the air can only produce about 10 liters of water from a 4'×8' panel over 24 hours. Enough for drinking and cooking, but nothing else. This is as serious as things can get, so there's more than enough reason for people to panic. Millions are about to lose everything, at risk of becoming refugees in their own country.

Thanks for the vid! I'm in Tucson and have been doing what I can to save water. Last year I installed a Flume water meter. It's a meter that wraps around my water meter and connects to my phone over wifi. I can see minute to minute usage which is much more useful when trying to find leaks than your monthly bill. It's great for landlords or people that travel too. My pool evaps about 75 gallons a day. It's a lot but irrigation is way more. I'm getting rid of my grass soon. Covering your pool could help with evaporation and chemical consumption. I think the best thing people can do is learn how to turn off their irrigation systems. When it rains, turn it off temporarily. I save a few thousand gallons a year doing that and it doesn't cost anything.

Our Flaming Gorge (Wyoming and Utah)is being drained substantially to help you guys out as well. For us it the Green River watershed and considered the high desert. Noted it was not on your chart. Ours is a cold water fishery. I go out there at least twice a week all year round. Used to go more but gas costs have curtailed that more. We are seeing our docks starting to be challenging for launching. Shore fishing opportunities getting more challenging. Hope we see more water in the future. Appreciate your videos, and shared them in the Flaming Gorge fishing community to give and idea what is going on downstream. We all should be worried and doing what we can to help each other out.

Lake Powell is also drying up too. 😢 Utah is also in a serious drought and have very strict water restrictions concerning watering yards and vegetation.

[@paul9156c]

A Utahn, with teenage daughter visiting my place in Southern California.. I told him his kid had been in the shower for an hour, and she had used up all of the hot water, and to tell her to get out, now! So after she finally got out of the bathroom, he told her.. "Don't worry honey, when we get home, you can stay in the shower as long as you want." Combining that attitude towards water conservation, and Utah being "The Breeder State", with it's population growth, I can plainly see it doesn't paint a pretty picture for Utah's future.

Thanks for the video guys. One statistic that is concerning to me is the capacity levels of Lake Powel and Lake Mead. Both under 30 percent full. Losing about 10 percent a year. Wont take long to run dry if things don't turn around.

[@johnchedsey1306]

There's definitely been some discussion of draining Lake Powell to store the water in Lake Mead, to reduce evaporation within the system. While I fully expect the Hoover Dam to remain, Glen Canyon Dam may have a different fate.

Here in Australia, we go through drought reguarly. Some years ago, we werent allowed to water lawns, gardens had to be hand watered or by dripper style systems. Swimming pools a def no-no. Showers here are water -savers. Washing cars were by hand-washing only. Toilets are duel flush. Were we live, are summers are comparable to yours ...extremely hot in summer 35-45c celcieus.

We have been doing the same by installing drought landscaping, showers, toilet’s… More people have installed rain barrels. Diamond Valley was the last dam built in California in 2000. Finally, opening and building desalination plants. Newsom turned down Huntington Beaches new one. Great video guys! 👏👏👏

@@davidtubesing79 You're probably right, but car washes are not always close by in rural areas. At the time, I lived 20 minutes from the nearest town on dirt roads, so I didn't even bother....livestock was more important than the car. It was to deter the people who washed cars with a running hose, on their driveway, with the water running down the street.

I moved to Baja from Reno, over 25 years ago. I have a Grand Daughter living in Vegas. I hope they are paying attention. There are so many problems in the US it is hard to know where to start as far as solutions go. Baja has desalination plants up and down the peninsula on both sides. Many fishing villages have them. I have some friends in San Hipolito and although very small it works fine and the water is no problem. 6 or 7 small fishing Villages in that same area all have water plants. My friends are lobster fisherman and were there before there were any water plants. My point is, if there is a will there is a way. Water will be more important than anything in the near future. You people should get an award for what you are doing. Thumbs up to you and your family. Respect.

I knew for a long time how important water was because it's just common sense something I always thought about since I was a kid . And then around 2010 I saw a documentary called Blue Gold : World Water Wars . Everybody should see it if they haven't already and there was another one similar to it with some overlapping information but I can't recall the name .

Incredible isn't it that a country like Mexico could have desalination plants but where in America do we have them ? and we should have had them long ago .

[@shaffer4220]

Thank you for your service! The video is very educational. I’m here in CA with many (not all) who just do not want to listen to what is happening with our water source. Even though we have reduced watering I still see an over abundance of our communities wasting water by sprinklers. Many of the neighbors still have old 4 gallon toilets. Swimming pools are a favorite and until it gets worse (directly affecting them) a change will take place. They feel the pinch in gasoline and food but unfortunately, our younger generation haven’t had much training in house repairs/maintenance and it also is not on their important to do list. America is on the spoiled route right now. Its high living & traveling or boating. My money is betting people will wake up just a little too late and the “prepared” individuals will be in a defense situation protecting what they saved on hand. If the word continues to get out as you and others are doing maybe it will catch sooner than later. The good thing is people are very capable of getting it together in most any situation, I pray the younger generations excel in this area.

[@kevinrodriguez9701]

That’s not the real problem, the real problem is over population you fool. The less people there are the less resources we would use up. If we would lose 4.6 billion people the world would be able to recover from the mess WE created for everyone.
