Almost declining as fast as the president

Happy 4th of july!

With temps of 117 to 120 in the valley, id be surprised if there was any water left by Sep.
I was kind of thinking that too....regardless of what the projections are, if these temps dont let up, I think the water levels could drop a lot more
The water level actually has very little to do with temps.it is mostly caused by over use upstream on the Colorado river. Vegas is lying if they say there is no problem, they get most of their water from Lake Mead. 😂😂
@@jameslaramie8041 Vegas doesn't have a water problem. Also, S. Nevada gets it's water from the Colorado River, not the reservoir. People say the water comes from the reservoir because the SNWA drafts water at the location of the reservoir because of financial reasons. Nevada could draft water anywhere along the Colorado where it borders Nevada. The water in the reservoir is owned primarily by Ag interests in AZ & CA, not Nevada. Lastly, it's not just "upstream". The C.R. was over allocated 100 years ago by 2maf. It's been over drafted in both basins since the allocations came to full fruition early this century, and that is almost exclusively by agricultural growers, who by the way, have cut their usage by 2maf starting last October.
Another great informative video! Thanks for your time Jessie!!
Hey thank you for checking out the video!!
Always interesting to see the changes
What a mess that place has become,, way too much for a few good Boy Scouts to clean up,,,,,maybe those that have made all the $$$ over the years could help,,, 😂. Thanks for taking the time to show this video,,,,
Hey no problem, appreciate you taking the time to check out the video!
Great video. I follow from Japan. The year-to-date water-level graph near the beginning of the video was interesting, Would it be possible to provide a similar graph in future videos that shows a longer time frame for reverence? Perhaps from 5 years back until the present. Nice work.
Where's Nessie
It got too hot, so he took the underground channel back to Loch Ness in Scotland!
Holy cow 113 degrees!
Right! it was hotter than the devils fart!
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 Thanks Jesse keep on making great stuff.
@@home-powersystems7782 You got it my friend!! thanks for tuning into the video. Have a great day and stay cool!
@edwardranno7119 Yeah, that temperature is regular around here in summertime.
@@edwardranno7119 it's a dry heat!

Thank you!!!
Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉
Happy 4th of July!
Thanks for posting these videos.
hey no prob! appreciate you checking out the video!!
@@jessiesdroneadventures7464 please keep the videos coming.
Great video
Thanks for the visit
It may drop 20 ft shoreline for short time of a month, but it will bounce back a month over 200 years they had flood in the same area.
@bustamante549 says the developer!. Does your sales pitch also say,"and it never gets above 98 in the summer "..😏
The water level has been dropping for over sixty years. In the last ten years it has dropped faster because of overuse of the Colorado river and narrowing of the lake. This is not seasonal. I've lived in Arizona 64 years and Lake Powell, which is above lake Mead was a 150 feet low back in 1976. Now it is over 300 feet low. It was a bad idea to close the coal fired power plant a couple years ago in Page Arizona because hydroelectric is about to be out of business. 😮
Great show. Thanks. (Subscribed)
Hey thanks! appreciate you subbing and glad you enjoyed the video!
So high.😂😂😂😂😂 The water level is over a hundred feet below full. Look at a chart that goes back more than six months. It is drying up, why do you think there are old sunken boats sticking out of the dirt.
Right
It is not drying up...what a dumb comment. Like you actually know, good grief.
Thanks Jessie for the Feb/July comparisons. Wonder if it will get back to 1,045" this year? When will you go back out again?
I mean, anything is possible, I don't think it will get that low, but ya never know. If it does, I will definitely be documenting it ! Thanks for checking out the video!
The water level has been dropping for 50 years. Twenty years ago when I used to drive across the dam to get to Vegas the water level was over 50 feet below full level. Lake Powell which is below Mead was over 150 feet low. A few super wet winters may bring it up some but the real problem is water demand from the Colorado river upstream of Mead is always increasing. Mead is not likely to ever be full again.

Lol, a sectional delivered? Does that mean you're not doing the van life anytime soon? 🤔🤣🤣
@dawnr9158 haha, well, not anytime soon.....but it could still happen!
@jessiesdroneadventures7464 you could be the only person with a sectional in the van. 🤣
Why make light of the trend of Van down by the CrackerBarrel's. Its sad really.
Van down by the river......while eating a steady diet in government cheese
Well, I'm sure as more wierdifornians move here, developers fill up their pockets. I'm sure the water will go up.😅
Weirdifornians....lol 🤣
That means it will go down faster. Vegas and area are looking for other means of power and water because the lake is not expected to produce energy or supply water fo much longer. They have built several solar power plants for one. Perfect place for that.😂 Don't know how they will handle the water issue though. They pipe it to Vegas from Mead.
@@jameslaramie8041 First, Vegas gets it's water from the Colorado River, not the reservoir. It just happens to draft water at the location of the reservoir as the water from the river enters the reservoir. That is because of historical financial reasons. The water in the reservoir is not owned by Nevada, but primarily by Ag interests in Az & Ca. Also, the Colorado River isn't going anywhere. Also, Hoover will be producing power long after you're dust to Earth, it is fully "expected" to produce power well into the future. Lastly, Vegas doesn't get power from Hoover. That power goes to Ca & Az and some parts of rural Nevada. Nevada(Las Vegas) has it's own power Co, which is of course NV Energy, which supplies the city through coal, natural gas & solar power plants it owns or has invested in (solar).
Oh, and Nevada only has a 1.8% water allocation, it's not Las Vegas using the water, that would be Ag interests where over 80% of the water is used. Nevada(Las Vegas) can't use one drop above it's allocation, regardless of how large it's population is. So this..."that means it will go down faster" is just such an uninformed statement.
Would that be a fresh new sunken boat or one we did see? Thanks!
Ine that we already say in the past.....just haven't seen it in a long time
Rapidly.
What’s the soundtrack you used?
I'll have to get back to you on this, it was a track I found on epidemic sound.....I'll see if I can track it down
Love all your adventures but please no political jokes. I come to UA-cam to get away from all that. ❤
UA-cam is the worst place to come to get away from political comments, no matter the topic someone goes there
The levels drop because they drain it to water the golf courses for the rich people
Incorrect. Golf courses are self suficient. Florida man. It's California using the water and not Las Vegas. CALI has their own water but they let it all run into the ocean.
It's always California
@@jpscharged incorrect do some research and name calling isn't necessary, the water was sold by the billions of gallons from lake meade to the golf courses, how about you stip spreading hate and spread the truth
@@jpscharged golf courses had to buy water because of the drought and I'm proud to live in Florida, I already know your type liberal troll
@@jpscharged did I say anything about las vegas
0:26 thats a scary looking graph if you dont know how to read a graph (most adults in america)
Sometimes I can understand them
