Love this kind of video, it makes regular people to see beyond the surface of the problem. It enables them to solve or suggest improvements to the system rather than just blindly complain on the problem.
Someday we’ll also start to discuss how water moves between basins as net importers (Las Vegas & Nevada being most notable) & exporters (California being a primary due to export of ag products). What will be fascinating will be the rest of the states when we look at the whole equation.
It's cool that people are using the water instead of treating it like its a nuisance. I think its not only efficient, but inspiring and entertaining. You take what is otherwise a bland area, and turn it into something enjoyable. What was weird about the water allocation in vegas is that they have an allotment of water (300,000 af, or 275,000 af), but they get to continue to use water as long as they put it back. Is that really conservation, or is it just a loop hole? The reason I say this is because they are going to have to treat and dispose the water anyway, so why should that effect how much water they use? It seems like that (wastewater treatment) should already be a part of the calculation. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if they're able to consume 300,000 af per year, without repleneshing that, then how much are they actually replenishing? Is it merely the difference, 100,000 af? Or is it actually almost all of the use, 400,000 af? What's the percentage of the reclamation? If they are recycling their water at ~100% efficiency, or close to that, then lake mead would fill over time. That would be the goal right? To have more than enough?
The root problem is how much water is taken from the lake. If they put some of it back has it actually left the lake. (and the amount they used with the amount returned was only 225,000 af. That is the number that should be focused on)
Woww... very inspirational short documentary video to be grateful to God's creation: water. Really appreciate your efforts to make this enlightened-mind channel. from: Indonesia, south east asia
Really like the long format of videos. It's pretty immersive and awesome once you get hooked on to the premise. Would love to see more of these.
Coastal Kerala India & Bangladesh have had traditional natural flood barrier system using mangroves & natural coastal plants. It works.
Mangroves are awesome! We need to protect them! They are so important! 🇩🇪
when I lived in Las Vegas, the pool used the most water. We needed to top it off every day because about 100 gallons evaporates a day.

Awesome work! Love the focus on local culture and norms.

Great video. Thank you. Flood control for the city of Sacramento is interesting and a story about it might fit into this series.
Create more reservoirs and aqueduct to redirect runoff to lakes, auqifers, and reservoirs. Don't let it run out to the ocean.

would it feel better if they put the re-used water into a big pond somewhere that's not that lake?

It is incredibly stupid and inefficient to continue growing let alone living in cities like Las Vegas and Phoenix.
I love raingardens they’re genius and common sense
How does it make any sense to solve the drought problem by taking water from the bottom of lake meed for LA? It's just gonna get used up.
Lazy
Exactly

You know, the best way to have flood proof cities IS TO STOP REMOVING THE FUCKING TREES
Great vid
#capecod get your act together
The way he says condoms tho
E
First
Truly enjoyed this ty for sharing the water loove 🙏💦
