@@driftlesshermit No. So, your takeaway from the video is that this specific erosion was accelerated by Lake Powell. I am saying I do not care if that's true or not - erosion happens everywhere, all the time. The video was titled misleadingly.
From National Geographic staff writer Walter Edwards: Walter Edwards had last visited Glen Canyon in June 1962, one final summer to see it in a way that would soon be lost for good. When he returned, it was June 1966. By then, the entire canyon had already been transformed by the new lake, which was still barely three years old and on a steady rise. That June the surface had reached a new high point at 3545, even though it had been a somewhat poor winter snowpack, which meant the lake was already peaking after the spring runoff. It was still not clear when Lake Powell would fill completely, although many remained hopeful it would reach full pool by the early 1970s. Maps of the lake at that time had already been published showing what “full pool” would look like, an exciting prospect still years away. Even so, the rough outline of the lake had already been achieved in just those three short years. It might be surprising to some that the surface area of Lake Powell was larger in 1966 than it is today in 2021, even though the lake is now nearly 15 feet higher. It’s all due to the enormous silt deposits where the rivers meet the lake that have occurred in the 55 years since then. The next stop was Rainbow Bridge. It was unchanged since 1962, a relief to the author, and possibly an opportunity. “Water backing up Bridge Creek was now only a mile from Rainbow Bridge, and the lake will ultimately form a reflecting pool 46 feet deep beneath the arch.” He had to admit that reaching it by boat was much easier than the five-mile hike of the past. Still, he was vaguely disturbed by the presence of brand-new Rainbow Bridge Marina, lodged against the steep left-hand wall on the way into Forbidding Canyon. He marveled at the fact that maintenance personnel and a park ranger actually lived in small houses built on the floating platform! It was here he made the first mention of the white “bathtub ring” on the lake, which then barely existed, since the lake was still on the rise. The lake hit an all-time high of 3545.68 on June 10, before beginning a slow slide that would last until the following spring, when it would bottom out at 3502. The trip took place at the very outset of that slide.
Good grief - you didn't even publish an actual prediction. The Bureau was 0.03% off on its calculation. Hardly qualifies as incredibly inaccurate as you describe. Leave the hyperbole in the drawer,
Good grief...You used the total 3500 ft to establish the .03% figure? When I fact we are looking at a 20 ft rise and fall between seasons, a 90 ft above minimum level, and a 1.4 ft discrepancy in predictions. If trend continues, there will be problems. Visited hoover dam like 5 years ago and there were concerns. You could see the top of the inlets on the collectors. Not getting any better... Mabye they should build up and expand more cities in the driest part of our nation...further increasing water supply demand from lake Powell?
The exaggerated issue by this channel was in claiming to guess the correct level for Lake Powell at the end of July. Your guess was only a foot less than the Bureau of Reclamation guessed.
The Park Service stated that 'changing water levels and erosion from wave action likely contributed to the collapse.' The Park Service does understand that they added over 500 feet of water to the area in the 1960s, right?
Why is the graphic at 00:22 not to scale? The way it’s drawn makes it seem the water level is lower than it is. Full pool minus minimum power pool is 210’, and the lake is 92’ above minimum power pool, or just shy of half that difference. Yet, the illustration seems to show that the current water level is far less than half the difference between full pool and minimum power pool.
Hello Time, thanks for the clear graphs. Do you think politics play a part in the level predictions ? Is the Navaho sandstone shots from upper Antelope canyon. If so, do is it not mention that for a reason?
Could you do a video on the Great salt lake sometime? I live very close to it and I am concerned because of the population explosion the heat and the drought.
I'm from Utah county. Last I knew it was a dead lake. Meaning that the water didn't flow out a river from it. The lake is also has more than double the salt content of the ocean. So once the water gets to the lake it says in the lake. The only reason that it would be in trouble is if someone else bought all the water and got every drop that they paid for. When you take all the water from the rivers that support a lake and slow the flow of water to less than a lake
Loses to evaporation. Then the water level drops. There is a debate on how many water needs to make it to the lake so it doesn't dry up. Some say that we might have already lost the lake if the drought is to continue. If and when it disappears the dust will be toxic. So next time you hear something about water rights and the lake you might want to pay attention. Last number that I heard was twenty to ten years for it to be gone.
@@NiallWardrop Every day I look at Google News and find out there's a new asteroid on a close approach with Earth, and they always say something like "Near-miss!

That chart should so the entire last 20 years. we need some perspective. it looks high in July. but that is very low over a 50 year period. this gives a false sense of security. hahahaha the think is a turkey going nowhere

However, death caused by natural disaster is different and so I'll watch that up to a point until it becomes redundant.

@crazwolf9825 I agree with you.
The decline is off over.5% considering the difference between full pool and dead pool is all that matters
I used to have a hyperbole. But the wheels fell off!
Except that you didn't say this in your video. And you didn't give a cardinal prediction. So, my complaint about hyperbole still stands.

What cities will be destroyed when the dam breaks?
The dam won't break. The reservoir will fill with silt long before the dam breaks. At that point a bypass will have to be dug to go around the dam.
More of an issue, what cities will no longer have water when the level drops below the collectors?
The chunk was the size of a Volkswagen. Which one? How many elephants did it weigh?
How far did it fall in London Buses? What's that in football fields?

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth.
A Mikhtam of David
DO you indeed speak righteousness, O gods?
Do you judge uprightly, O sons of men?
2 No, in heart you work unrighteousness;
On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
3 The wicked are estranged from the womb;
These who speak lies go astray from birth.
4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
5 So that it does not hear the voice of charmers,
Or a skilled caster of spells.
6 O God, shatter their teeth in their mouth;
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them flow away like water that runs off;
When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.
8 Let them be as a snail which melts away as it goes along,
Like the miscarriages of a woman which never see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns,
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning
alike.
10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 And men will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely there is a God who judges on earth!”
