This is amazing. I hope we can reclaim more of California’s Central Valley and reforest it, since it used to be endless riparian deltas and lakes out here
The main reason I'm watching this channel, is the fact that they have positive news. All you can hear in mainstream media is bad news. They never talk about anything positive. Sick and tired of it. Now I'm looking for channels talking about any good news. Environment, education, community projects... anything! Just give me some good news every now and then.
I feel the same way ... but then I find out even the good news is is full of lies or misleading ... I hate myself for having this outlook on things these days ... At 63 years old I am getting ready to throw out the computer and tv...🤔 Thinking of selling my house in Washington State and buy a boat to live on ....😁
It’s not a form of control, take the tinfoil hat off. It’s a form of making money for their advertisers. Bad news gets more clicks, more views to the ads. Good news gets less engagement. That’s how it’s always been on the internet.
So agree … just not a fan of how the script repeated the same points over and over and over again They should make a good short video instead of trying to pad out the content -
Well, the news was negative and necessary, raising attention to what was needed, following American water mismanagement and ecological damage. This helped to initiate change
Great to see nature is being restored. It is most important for our environment. I am also using Cottonwood, Poplar, and Palo Verde on my desert land. It's amazing how these trees grow fast and able to tolerate the hash desert area...
These projects, especially when shown from the beginning, maybe going back to 5-10-even 15 years help me to renew my faith in human kind. We destroy, yes, but we can also repair, and mantain the environment.
I was born in Yuma in 1950. I. Moved West then NW. I didn’t know they were doing this!! I am so happy to hear it’s being restored! Praise the Creator. 🙏
Er, NO!! This was ALL done by man, both the destruction and restoration of this beautiful habitat. Your imaginary Sky daddy (“The Creator”) had zero/nada/zilch to do with it.
There are many such happenings all over the world, even in the Sahara! I find them and feel so uplifted and excited. I think this is where I will put my focus on" possibilities.
💙🩵🤍💚💛 How utterly awesome to see this restoration! May we each be inspired to move in the direction of working WITH nature everywhere we go. And may this project inspire the governing bodies and industries across the globe to understand the importance of nature and how it actually brings win win profits to every living being!
Praise God! Thank you so much for sharing this. With all the sad news about environmental destruction, this story comes as relief. I hope we see more and more of this. With more and more people getting educated about the earth, I believe it is possible that the human race can see a turn around from the destructive course that we have been on, God willing.
Do you know if rainforest and forest in the desert grew it will be easier and easier to absorb the excess carbon soon white Christmas is in all of America with the exception of the tropical states will have a white Christmas every year
@@jamessparkman6604 Hi James! Yes I know and that’s very great right? In addition, it’s slows down global warming and the devastating side effects (natural disasters) of it! So from my perspective a very important change.
@@thegreencompany2101 I do and that’s why people should be more compliant about not having children literally if there were more childless couples, and with the passing of time combined with three pod, burials the forest repair itself faster than we can destroy it not vice versa
A step in the right direction for our environment. What if the wetland received more than 1% of the amount it used to get naturally? Imagine the positive impact if the amount of water were doubled to 2%, or increased to 5% or even 10% in the spring?
I think it would be fair to give back like 90%, but yeah. I know a few things where water is used for no reason: Car-washing, private swimming pools, excessiv showering, flushing toilets, irrigation on conventional farmland (where evaporation is extremely high due to mismanagement) - just to name a few things.
Tjanks..I went to the raise the river website..last update appears to be back in 2019 or 2020. Maybe this video will spur some more activity in this vital area.
One of the most iconic rivers of the world I don't think it it would be in the top 10 but if the river doesn't reach the ocean is it still technically a river
Truth is Colorado farmers were scammed out of their land for water rights or offered high prices to sell it. So not as much farming is being done. This issue is a man made issue. If you let the water return to the Colorado Rockies the more moisture you will have and the more snow and run off you will get but if you keep piping the moisture away the dryer you will get. Since sending the water to other states Colorado has not had the Winters we once did. And not to forget the great salt lake is drying up. People don't understand the lake effect that brings more moisture in. If California is so hell bent on stealing water why don't they fix their infrastructure to retain more of their water they receive instead of having to release it because their dams are to old and going to break? Makes me just a little grumpy because we have to fight for our deeded water against the city who has unlawfully rerouted the ponds to make money renting out water and to put in golf courses rather than giving the water to the struggling farmers so we can grow more food which can increase water and food to everyone. But no let the state dry up intentionally causing soils to not retain moisture and create trauma and drauma that never had to be.
At one point last year it was reaching toward the higher end of its capacity as you can see from the charts on screen when I say it, may have changed since
This is what I had heard, but I have seen updates since, which say the drought persists and the levels of the lakes you spoke of are lower than they should be, but not at the lower prior levels.@@LeafofLifeWorld
@@LeafofLifeWorld This is not even close to accurate. At its 2023 peak (nearly equal to its current level), Lake Mead was at about 30% of capacity and 50% of its historical average. It was over 200 feet (!) of water elevation from full pool. Lake Powell is in a similar situation. Both are very near their all time lows.
Are any of the states in America doing their part in this restoration project has California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado also allocating water to this as well?
Yes. In my exploration of videos about beaver restoration, they're often found up north and are very useful in restoring habitat for just about everything.
Sandy is what happens when one or two states build neighborhoods with golf courses in the middle of the desert and California builds thousands of almond farms. Almond trees use more water than basically any other crop
Unlike Washington State dams I feel the Colorado River should be restored almost completely. The reason is the river water is used for people's lawns in a desert. Transforming a desert in California to one of the largest crop producers in the world. The billions of gallons spent on almond trees when they are not native to the area alone makes me want Hoover damn shut down.
these developments may not be as great as they seem as the American farmers still overuse that water further upstream. A way to remedy this problem would be to get farmers to stop growing things like citrus that need massive amounts of water in the desert. The states are the reason the water is so low, they take so much water just to sell crops that are often wasted just to make a quick buck and thise dams destroy the environments of the surrounding regions. Dams are a massive part of the proble as they literally change the structure of the river and how water moves through the ecosystem. A step to make it so they don't have to dig channels would be to use less water and carefully demolish the dams because while they provide electricity they also destroy the environment. This is a bandaid on a bullet wound and it may help a little bit but what will a tiny bit of water do in the face of American Agriculture making whole lakes disappear, of introducing these invasive species intentionally a lot of the time or the complete disregard of other living things in the sake of profit. These farms and dams are the problem because under capitalism they are incentivized to constantly produce more and more and more every single year. This system is why this was allowed to happen, why people could just sot there and do nothing and pay no mind to the fact that a river can't even reach the ocean anymore. This won't help as much as you think without addressing the root of the issue and the root is capitalism and its relationship to the land. That is not to say that these developments are not great, they really are but it barely addresses the causes which is how all of this could be reversed if a massive agribusiness lobbies the government to rescind these pieces of legislation and revert back to how it was for the last 60 years, a cure would be to make ot so that can never ever be allowed to happen by say making lobbying illegal to break the economic power these massove corporations have, otherwise it is only a matter of time before they go back to disregarding living things for the sake of profit.
The Agess Inc imports gravity fed ocean water into Salton Sea, Laguna Salada and Qattara Depression in Egypt is outstanding projects that need our support.
I think the next step logically would be to introduce small deer and Mexican wolves to the area to keep populations of beavers and other animals in check.
This is so awesome. This is what government agencies are supposed to protect, however, sadly they have mostly been "captured" by corporations that have destroyed the ecosystems that God has created in the pursuit of profit over stewardship.
This project is great, but the video has a lot of inaccurate information. For one, neither Lake Mead nor Lake Powell are anywhere near capacity, nor have they been for many years. At its 2023 peak (nearly equal to its current level), Lake Mead was at about 30% of capacity and 50% of its historical average. It was over 160 feet (!) of water elevation from full pool. Lake Powell is currently at about 33% of full capacity. Both are very near their all time lows.
Farms use up a lot of the water but a hydroponic farm use 95% less water than normal farms if more farms convert over to hydroponic farming it will reduce the wasted water usage in America but I see a lot of people over using water to
I found this title hard to believe at first because I thought there's no way entitled Americans will give up their growing use of the Colorado water. Of course, I should have known it was the Mexican farmers downstream who see the bigger picture and benefits of letting nature thrive.
So glad to see so many restoration videos on land that needs the water. sad is that it is necessary to do so after man has killed the environment. you will never find another animal that creates this kind of damage. even wild pigs do not damage their environment the way that men can. you can't grow a garden in a city, and you cannot raise livestock in a desert. man did this, man needs to fix it. just stateing an area is a park is not good enough. parks can be unsupervised and kill people. yes mankind has survived on this planet for a long time but our history with the land is short compared to other life forms, just ask a turtle if it thinks mankind is important.
That can be true but at the same time estruary ecosystems are super important and many species going extinct, most of the water is being used up before going to sea only a small fraction is now allocated back for the estruary
Lol. Beavers help in virtually every aspect and have been doing their jobs for longer than us, yet we still try to dictate how to do things by blocking beavers from certain trees. We should be trying to learn from them.
@@LeafofLifeWorld I live in Las Vegas, so the water situation with Lake Mead is in the news a lot. The experts they interview on local news channels say one wet year barely “moved the needle.” Just anecdotally, the “bath tub” ring you see on the cliffs around the lake is very high up and two of the boat ramp/marinas are still closed because the water line is about a half mile from where the ramps pavement ends. People keep finding human remains of missing people in areas that used to be underwater. Come see for yourself. It’s not even close to at “full capacity.”
Sad that only Mexican farmers were made to sacrifice. Wealthy California farmers should have to pay more or switch off from water-intensive crops like rice.
The fact we took something green and made it a dust bowl and took us a few decades to go you know what that's not ok. Like wtf is rong with people I mean come on right.

As this restoration is going on, the carbon capture grows from the plants growing and storing carbon in the soil as this area becomes more fertile.
Thank you!
When you stop trying to control Mother Nature, life will come back. Mother Nature is the best builder

To reduce water being lost from canals and rivers some cover them with solar panels providing power without sacrificing farm land.
I think all the algae blooms are the replacement of all the trees they cut down
😮
They need to take a bunch of the water that LA and Vegas suck up to water lawns and have water fountains and send it to the delta.

Neither Lakes Mead nor Powell are anywhere near full capacity. They're currently 159ft & 126ft respectively below full pond.
I’m no hippie or treehugger but this just seems like common sense. If we take care of the environment the environment will flourish and so will humans
Lake Meade and Lake Powell are not reaching full capacity. Not sure about your sources.
I can't imagine that this valuable water was wasted for private pools. Insanity at its finest.
The U.S.A. has a responsibility to make sure every American river has the ability to reach the ocean.
Only if theres enough water for us to use.
But what about their green lawns and swimming pools?
👍
I think the next step logically would be to introduce small deer and Mexican wolves to the area to keep populations of beavers and other animals in check.
Let's wait until we have enough beavers. They make a huge difference in projects like this.
This is so awesome. This is what government agencies are supposed to protect, however, sadly they have mostly been "captured" by corporations that have destroyed the ecosystems that God has created in the pursuit of profit over stewardship.

Umm Powell and Mead are only 35% of capacity. Not even close to capacity

Need to let the beavers take down trees . Otherwise your washing away organic material . Wet lands are just the first start to land development.
If they didn’t fence off aload of them they’d just cut down all of the trees in the area since there aren’t even that many there yet.

My same exact thought. So sad.
The same Mexicans that have used up all the water in Mexico City?
In other words, Mexican farmers want their share of the water too!
willows and poplars can also consume a lot of water for growth lowering the levels of ground water overtime contributing to droughts later on
Are those trees native to the area?

If it is getting to the ocean, then it is getting to Mexico.
NOMATTER WHAT UPBEAT CHANNEL YOU FIND, (I DON'T READ COMMENTS ANY MORE) MOSTLY GOOD CONVERSATION. ALWAYS A FEW NEGATIVITY TO BUMYAOUT`
This channel goes on and on about the problem and then just says “easily fixed” while the problem remains.
So wouldnt it make more sense to remove the dam and replace its with a Nuclear plant/ plants? Let the river run like it should.
letting a freshwater river flow into saltwater sea
seems like a waste of freshwater
That can be true but at the same time estruary ecosystems are super important and many species going extinct, most of the water is being used up before going to sea only a small fraction is now allocated back for the estruary
