We moved from NJ to Colorado , yes we are shocked to see the drying Rivers. In NJ we were used to seeing lakes,rivers,ponds full of water any time of the year.
The video is 7:57 long, yet she only spends 8 seconds discussing the river downstream of Lake Meade. And no mention of Los Angeles or the dried estuary where it used to meet the Gulf of Mexico
LA gets all its water from owens valley,the snow melt from the eastern sierras--they passed laws in the 1920ties so they could steal it...--we have massive snow in the sierras this year already so not an issue this year
This is true but perhaps we should not do certain things in certain places. Like have too many people congregating in the middle of the desert. Or building villages on volcanos. Or building big mansions on the side of mountains etc.
These people can cry climate change all they want but one of the biggest reasons is the fact that developments like golf courses and almond farming shouldn't be in desert areas since they are too water intensive. I live in the Great Lakes region and am wondering if there will be water wars for the vast amt of fresh water surrounding our region.
I live in Phoenix AZ, and you're correct. There's too many people here now and nobody is conserving water. Its 110 degrees today and most days in summer, this is a desert and we cannot sustain millions of people forever..
Michigan native here. I wouldn't be surprised to see Michigan's population double in the next 30 years due to our vast freshwater resources. Once water is no longer available in the southwest there will be a mass immigration like nothing we've ever witnessed
the coming nuke war(soon) with russia you won't have to think about it anymore--it is all going to plan--i have a nuke shelter in a very secure area,get my water from deep springs--just hope my 600 cow/calf survive or most of them...all the vegas golf courses get recycled water--vegas should be a model for everybody else on how to recycle water--vegas also has deep springs they use--she said it goes back to lake mead--it does not--goes to lake las vegas
A swimming pool size body of water loses 600 gallons a week to evaporation. Having open air pools of water in the desert is never a responsible decision. If you have 600 swimming pools that's 360,000 gallons a week or 51,428 gallons per day. What crazy is that there are a lot more than 600 swimming pools in the lower basin area as well as ponds.
Sorry to upset your AGW and drought B.S. but when the Hoover dam was built it was during one of the wettest periods in the West, and both the population and irrigated farming were nearly non-existent. Returning to the more normal precipitation patterns plus explosions in population and agriculture has the dam at a level consistent with the more normal century scale precipitation pattern and those new immense drawdowns.
So how about the statement that mead isn't going anywhere aye... lake Meade is so low now that it can't generate electricity anymore or really close to not being able to..
the lake cant go anywhere because the intakes that let water out will eventually be above the water which wont allow water out but the Colorado will continue to flow and fill it up:)
I doubt this is the right place to make a suggestion but there isnt such a link that i could find. I think we should have a Snow Drive...like a toy drive. All neighbouring states with exess snow....including Alaska and Canada if they want and start trucking in snow and dumping it into to the head waters of the Colorado river in the rockies. Snow was already going to be dumped there anyways naturally as snow is freash water. Or organize a collection of snow for redistribution that falls in the roockies and push/move/truck towards the Colorado river head waters. Theres nothing more to do as nature takes over with melt and flow
numskull idea--there is massive snow this year already--it would take a million truck loads of water to raise lake mead a foot--haul snow only a more on could think of that
you fail to mention Flaming Gorge dam which sends a massive amount of water down the Green River thru,from wyoming,idaho,utah--then it dumps into the colorado river--also you did not mention Lake Mojave below havasu on the colorado river--we are having massive snows--good chance all the lakes fill up this year so all the past drama is fart gas
Good chance the lakes will fill this year ? The lakes have only rose a couple feet since the beginning of the season, it would take at least 5-10 years of above average snowpack to fill lake mead or Powell. Please do your research before commenting something that makes no sense

Climate change is a hoax.
They ought to damn it up near Yuma so that it will have higher volume upstream. Smart
Came from Detroit to see the Drying rivers , they'll be gone by the time my grandchildren are adults Sad so sad
Fantastic
If I had to listen to this woman for more than 5 minutes I think I'd lose my mind.
😂😂😂

Well said. What about the river folk downstream. I am sure they have as much say as all those people in the LA desert. NOT
Exactly
LA gets all its water from owens valley,the snow melt from the eastern sierras--they passed laws in the 1920ties so they could steal it...--we have massive snow in the sierras this year already so not an issue this year
I GET E BIKES AND SCOOTER PARTS OUT OF IT EVERY YEAR NOW!
Denver7.... Niceee~ -thumbs up-
Lake Mead is about 10-15 mins outside of Las Vegas.
God is the One who Provides,we enjoys His Provisions.

Why is she so squeaky?
@5:33 is she cold🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
I want to go on the next one?

@@dethray1000Lake Las Vegas flows into lake mead
Oh yeah...the water wars began in Michigan YEARS AGO.
They'll be everywhere any day now.

Evaporated water is not gone. We can not beat a drought without evaporation. No evap= No rain and No snow.

I always wonder why California always had water problems,

Leave the Colorado River alone, stop taking water out of it...remove all of the Damns....now!
I prey for way more water to keeps this full of water
Remember before hover dam the Colorado river would go dry after delivering all the melted snow ❄️ dont be afraid
Say that to the people that will go thirsty! 🥵

This is the most American suggestion to a problem I have ever heard.
Almost as bad as the guy who wanted to fight hurricanes with the military

Too many dams and hands in the Colorado River's pie!
