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

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.

[@elijahbrown8675]

Yeah the media has become a joke I have heard about Johnny and amber and nothing about the dropping water level that can effect the whole county when you figure in the crops that depend on this water source.

Thing is, this isn't actually a drought. This is a return to normal rainfall amounts. When those dams and pipelines were built, the southwest was in an unusually high rainfall period. Without more precipitation, no amount of emergency measures will fix it either.

[@iworkout6912]

That's why I keep hearing the news readers mentioning Global Warming as the cause. Not that it might play a part, but some of those area never will support the huge population growth. And growing grass that is shipped to the Saudi's is crazy, let alone all the vegetables grown so we can have tomatoes and lettuce for our big macks in the winter up north. Florida is much better suited for that type of crop.

[@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.

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.

[@denismeans2910]

@@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.

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.

[@Intercoaster]

The three-mile tunnel (largely constructed using a tunnel-boring machine [TBM]), commonly referred to as the "third straw" to facilitate extraction of water from the bottom of the lake from its deepest part, was commissioned by the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA). It cost just shy of a billion dollars and was paid for from general tax revenue.. Nevada will still only be able to extract its share of water as determined by the multi-state, 1922 compact and subsequent amendments. Unless there's some as yet unforeseen and dramatic leap forward in turbine technology, your prediction that generation of electricity at the dam will cease well before the "bath-pug" intake is reached due to insufficient head of water is quite likely to occur. Water from Lake Mead doesn't flow to Las Vegas by gravity and what's never been made clear by the Nevada authorities is what backstop is in place to pump the water if there's no power. Standby diesel generators? Possibly but likely only designed for short-term use. And what good is water for the region if there's no power? A functioning Las Vegas is a relatively small issue. Given the choice between food/water and entertainment, there's no argument about what people will want as you quite properly indicate. A backstop water supply. Based on current technology, a plan for a pipeline to a location where a reliable source of freshwater exists, probably the North-West, should be seriously considered. The oil industry is able to build a 1,000-mile pipeline in a snap so the expertise is readily available but these things take time to plan and initiate. Add in a dose of bureaucratic inertia and heaven knows how long it would take to get things moving on such a project. On this topic, another issue the government will have to address is depletion of the Ogallala Aquifer which is predicted to occur mid-century. "Cadillac Desert" a book by Marc Reisner which provides a detailed breakdown of why artificially watering the arid US South-West was a folly is an excellent read and is eerily prescient of the present situation.

Hmm. You do know we are in a climate collapse right now. Not 5,10,15,20 or 50 years from now. NOW. This is their response. Divide and confuse the population until the brutal bitter end whilst they maintain their power and control. Think they care about you (us)? Think again.

[@mr.elastomeric1787]

I believe China Town was based on that book. Great movie.

[@Intercoaster]

@@mr.elastomeric1787 If you mean the Roman Polanski directed Chinatown, then it could not have been based on Reiser's book because the latter wasn't published until 1986 whereas Chinatown was first released over ten years earlier in 1974. Chinatown was certainly inspired by the California Water Wars and one-time head of the Los Angeles Water Dept., William Mulholland. In 1997, there was a 4-part, TV documentary mini-series called Cadillac Desert, the first three parts of which were based on Reiser's book. The last part was based on Sandra Postel's 1992 book, Last Oasis. This TV series can currently be seen on KZbin. Postel's book is also well worth reading.

HEY Cali>> get going on desalination ASAP

[@jerrylujan5381]

Super great coverage, with good sensical advice for preparations, without being alarmist. Keep up the good work, keep on keeping us informed

[@awjenning]

I am very very impressed with your son and your relationship with him. You are extremely fortunate to have each other.

[@timothyleach4347]

You two are GREAT! Good to hear down to earth thinking.

[@HangitRite]

Glad your keeping and eye on the drought situation....just subscribed this morning for the main reason of the father and son bond you guys have...my dad passed of covid 2 years ago.... i miss that bond we had....yall keep it up and stay safe.....

[@danielbishop5752]

You two are very informative, knowledgeable and realistic. Your son is very impressive to say the least. I know you're proud of him. I enjoy watching your videos. I hope things get better out there. There's so much that depends on water from Lake Mead and the rest of the Colorado River. It's a precious resource for sure.

[@nancymoore8026]

Nicely done, guys. Blessings on you two and all those you love. 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks for this kind of video guys and break it down to us it’s pretty scary will be storing on water and necessities take care and be safe keep up the good work👍🏻👍🏻

Sound advise, that's a great young man you rised. Good luck Nevada and my prayers with you brother. Master Sergeant 3rd/75th (retired)

[@josephdunkle1152]

You guys are putting out good, realistic thoughtful information, keep it coming. I live in Socal and I know LA dept of water pumps all it's water from the Colorado river to the LA basin. I've been prepping for years, always good to have a plan B for food, water, transportation, security, shelter, communications, etc. And good to have knowledge of where your infrastructure comes from and how to substitute if needed. When disaster strikes, it's good to be a part of the solution, not a part of the problem.

[@Chettjacobson]

Thank you for your service from a Navy Veteran. Also hope things get better soon.

[@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

[@bradhintz2854]

Look into who owns the company’s that grow the forage, you’d be even more shocked at what you will uncover. They’re all owned by entities from places like China & Saudi Arabia

[@Bdpjev]

I love meat. I personally have been reducing my meat intake to about once or twice a week because I understand the beef and chicken industry is killing the planet as a whole. So I am introducing more vegetables and alternative meats like beyond or impossible into my diet. I've also done the same with dairy. We only have one planet we need to preserve it.

[@BlackCat-aka-Jewels]

I'm so new but my hubby loves u guys. your son is so well educated and so smart. this video needs to everywhere! this was so informative and helpful. great. great job! even this grandma learned something. you guys are spot on....so important message. thank you so much guys. so appreciated. God bless 🙏❤️

[@jackqulenmcculloch699]

thank you guys for your information you have a very smart son it's really neat that you guys can work together on this

[@purplehead9511]

Huge respect for you sir and the oustanding job you have done in bringing up such a level headed and thoughtful son. These videos are vital documentation with regard to the issues you outline so eloquently and hugely important, keep going chaps it is worth it. Watching here from the UK it is eye opening to see the problems you have going on right now. 👏

[@karenwynn8113]

I LOVE your videos! Although I live in Florida now, I grew up in southern Utah, 2 hours from Las Vegas and am familiar with the area. Thank you for keeping everyone updated. Your ability to deliver information in a calm manner is refreshing. Thank you for what you do! God Bless You!

[@breahnamichelle31]

I'm pretty new to your channel but I'm addicted now I really appreciate the news and all the videos your informing us all across America of the issues,plus the fun stuff,n even saving some people so this is just great I learned something new everyday from you. ❤

[@COSpacegunner]

Just subscribed after seeing you help get Craig out. Senior & Junior are angels! I live in the north-north-east part of Colorado, and we are seeing our water supplies dwindle. Very little snow left in the mountains. This water & energy "problem" is throughout the western US and will get a lot worse. God bless you & thank you for your service to our Country, Senior, and Junior, follow Dad. You are a fantastic son!

[@deepcow]

Man, it’s getting bad, this is a good video. As far as pool water, keep the chlorine in the pool, keep the water clear and clean. If you need to drink the water from your pool, just get a good filter made with activated carbon, this will remove all the chlorine and the water will be perfect for drinking.

[@Brian-us5vx]

Just wanted to say thank you to both you and your son! Wonderful delivery and very well balanced. Praying for you all in the Southwest, Greetings from Louisiana!

Just stumbled onto your channel, I love it real people who use and depend on the lake. Reporting on the lake, 👍 keep it up. I’m smashing the like and subscribe button

[@Pug351]

This has been going on for awhile and was predicted over two decades ago. I live in the Rocky Mountains and the annual snow pack has been decreasing steadily for 30+ years.Many Mountain states are in drought conditions. Now add the millions of people who have moved to Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona over the last 50 years. The damage is irreversible. Eventually the Lake will be a muddy pit. If I lived in the region I'd move now. There are already communities in Arizona being told they will have no water after december.

[@henrymorris2148]

I think those millions of people are now moving east to over crowd the southeastern states.

[@Z3nHolEminD]

Maybe it’s them silver iodide they have been shooting into the clouds ,,, all over COlorAdA

[@Magneticitist]

Desalination is obviously the answer to sustain what would be a future global population in some years time because, duh the ocean, but those with the money to make the necessary pre-emptive changes don't want the world population to reach those numbers.

[@Pug351]

@@Magneticitist the down side is cost. The amount of energy (oil) needed to power the desalination process was $3-5 a gallon before recent upticks in oil prices. The bottom line is greed and local governments looking the other way in regards to developers and the prospect to collect millions ikn property taxes. The west and southwest does not receive the rainfall and moisture to support the population density of the east coast. Las Vegas should not even exist. It only exists because the mob wanted the make profit off gambling.

[@Magneticitist]

@@Pug351 I feel like they are stroking us off with these excuses. We're talking about boiling water out and selling the sea salt, which is going for like $99 a mfing bottle lol. They can pretend it's dangerous and extra costly all they want. I don't really see how it's so much more expensive than turning drinking water out of shit water.

[@bobbym8594]

Thank you for your service sir 🇺🇸I’m in the hi desert southern Cali we have been under strict water regulation for years no lawns barely any trees 2 min showers go without washing the cars rerouted the clothes washing machine and kitchen sink out to water the trees and with all the violence happening in the city’s like San fran and LA people are moving here there’s now gang tagging crime/theft is up 100% drug addicted zombies everywhere and the rich people are buying up property building houses with pools putting in landscape that requires a lot of water it’s very aggravating I’ve lived here over 40yrs and now thinking of selling my house and moving before the water runs dry and then my home won’t be worth crap! Gas here in Joshua tree is 6.80 Oh One more thing Fjb!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My house would be up for sale already and I'll be packed up and ready to go especially in Joshua tree you lose power you lose AC and no water to boot hell on Earth

You guys direct the wash water to your trees and grass? In the suburbs of Chicago you can get major fines for doing that but we do it anyway. We got some nice grass in the back yard
