Drought causing dramatic erosion in Grand Canyon

- The biodiversity in the Grand Canyon is dependent on annual buildups of sediment rich sandbars, which have eroded after 20 years of drought. Because of the strong snow pack from this past winter, scientists are relying on a pulse of water released from Glen Canyon Dam, called a high flow experiment, to push monsoonal runoff into the canyon and restore seasonal sandbars.

Ummm...it looks like it's been dramatically eroding for like millions of years.
Glib pondskaters really know how to get to the heart of the issues.
@Adi Buddhi damming rivers fcks up rivers. You pair of glib sons of bchizz seem to be missing the point. I hope you live in the south west.
So either the water erodes it, or the lack of water erodes it? It can’t win!😂
YES VERY INTERESTING, CALIFORNIA GETS 25% OF WATER FROM THE COLORADO RIVER. WHY AND FOR WHAT? OH FARMING!! WHILE NAVAJO FAMILIES DON'T HAVE WATER!!! MOST DO NOT HAVE RUNNING WATER, MUST TRAVEL TO GET " WATER"!! BUT CALIFORNIA FARMERS GET THEIR FAIR SHARE RIGHT??? HYPOCRISY
Agree! The people involved in the original river compact were completely inept and modern resource managers seem to be all bought and paid for by desert irrigation districts or big bottled water corps. Water is a commodity for them. The Navajo never received what was promised to them whether it was the water, or tillable land to replace their flooded fields, or new villages. Thankfully the City of Page just helped by building a new low level intake to supply some of the Navajo Nation, but it's really too little too late...
@@mojo.adventures THANK YOU FOR INFORMING ME OF THE CURRENT SITUATION. I'VE BEEN TO A NUMBER OF RESERVATIONS, MAKES ME SICK. DOES NOT MATTER WHOSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE NO BODY CARES. TALK ABOUT SLUMS, IT'S SHAMEFUL.
BUT AGAIN THANK YOU.
To grow almonds that should not be grown in the area
These Expansionists really doomed this area.
Remove Glen Canyon Damn, that plug should have never have been built. Edward Abbey was right,
But I want to live in the desert and have water parks and golf courses 😡
The drought is causing dramatic erosion? I think, this is just the one factor of all of them which lead to erosion, which has not a signifikant result, if all the other reasons of erosion did not do "their work" before. So what are you telling us here? A flood leads to erosion in a amount of sand which was layed by the river in an artificial lake? That makes no sense, because the lakes you built are artificial and there was not much sediment on that place before.
If you take a look to Mexico, there is no erosion due to water, because you´re taking away all the water. Only the wind may blow some sanddunes somewhere ...
Maybe it is supposed to erode? It must have been a slow news day for this video to arrive.
Get rich people to donate growing mangroves trees around the river to protect and retain ground water.
We live on beautiful Lake Erie. NY Pa OH Mi IN MN Il are all beautiful states! All the water anyone could hope for. Plenty of housing. Plenty of work, All growing most of their food in state. WTFU before we trash America to the point of no return
How do you people believe the grand canyon was created? 😂😂😂
I understand "wind & rain" to be jealous of drought being the cause of this errosion.🤔
My blood is Palestinian, Palestinian, Palestinian
My blood is Palestinian
We stood for you, our homeland
With our pride and Arabisim
Al-Quds land called us
(As) The sound of my mother calling me
Palestinian, Palestinian
My blood is Palestinian
Keeping my oath, following my religion
You will find me on my land
I belong to my people, I sacrifice my soul for them
My blood is Palestinian, Palestinian, Palestinian
My blood is Palestinian
O mother don't worry
Your homeland is a fortified castle
Which I sacrifice my soul for
And my blood, and my veins
Keeping my oath, following my religion
You will find me on my land
I belong to my people, I sacrifice my soul for them
My blood is Palestinian, Palestinian, Palestinian
My blood is Palestinian
I'm Palestinian, a son of a free family
I'm brave and my head is always up
I'm keeping my oath to you my homeland
And I have never bowed to anyone
Palestinian, Palestinian
My blood is Palestinian
Keeping my oath, following my religion
You will find me on my land
I belong to my people, I sacrifice my soul for them
My blood is Palestinian, Palestinian, Palestinian
My blood is Palestinian
