you build a large city in a desert and put a lake in the desert where neither were meant to be, what did you expect. it's called a desert for a reason.
Wow! 800 million for that idea!? They're gonna need to consider building a desalination plant and run a salt pipeline from SoCal. They got plenty of sun to generate Solar electricity to run this plant. They need to think long term.
I know you posted your comment about a year ago...but, SoCal actually does have a few desalination plants. However, they are not in use. “Too expensive”.

That tunnel won't do a bit of good in 20 years time when Lake Mead is nothing but dry salt flats. Colorado and Utah are going through a building boom right now, and in 15 years the new development in Colorado and Utah alone will be using 100% of the water in the Colorado river, leaving almost nothing left downstream. That is why 20 years from now Lake Mead will be a dry dust bowl.
This may sound like a stupid question but couldn't an intake pipe be ran deeper into the bottom of the lake and pumped out? I don't understand why the water has to be drained downward from the bottom of Lake Mead.
This video and what they are doing was not well explained at all. So they are drilling this long, three mile tunnel and are going to suck a bunch of water out of the lake to fill it? I guess the lake will drop another 50 feet. The only thing this accomplishes is the water in that tunnel will not evaporate as fast as it does out of the lake. Another option could be to use evaporation balls to prevent evaporation from the lake. Just use them in the tributary areas and some coves, perhaps, so recreation on the lake could continue. It would take billions of them, but they are very effective in preventing evaporation. Also, Las Vegas needs to apply stricter water restrictions. People grow gardens and have lawns on their property, and they are in the middle of a frikin desert, consuming vast amounts of water! What the hell? Stop that crap, and stop any future home building. If you want a lawn and a garden, move to somewhere where it actually rains enough!
@106836059222696754980 no, they are drilling a hole in the lowest part of the lake (and a tunnel) to drain it, as the canals leading off of the lake currently are above the waterline, making them useless (dry) without pumps.
the money for this project should have been used to build a pipeline to the Pacific ocean ........then pipe the water into the state .................California should build conversion plants on the ocean .................problem solved
They failed to mention that this is all going to be completely useless if the lake dries up completely which it appears that it is going to do sooner than later. It's really frightening when you think about it.
Citizen of Las Vegas : In a place where alcohol flows at each street corner , you should stop drinking water and stop taking shower . The first action inhibits the need to make the second .
The commonsense reaction for these people would be to drill water wells way outside of Lake Mead but they don’t have enough sense to think that I think of knowledge
So tired of hearing this fallacy about every original drop of water is still on this planet. THINK !!! We have sent THOUSANDS of manned and unmanned rockets into space. ALL these vehicles contained WATER--which was used up in space. Hundreds of gallons of astronauts urine has been vented in space, it takes WATER to build space probes which never return to Earth. SO-----------we do NOT have as much water as we started with !!
Build high pressure pipes and fast moving water pumps in a nationwide water switching network, to redirect damaging flood waters from areas of the country that are flooding into areas of the country that have drought, such as the May 2019 Arkansa /Mississippi floods, to reach Lake Mead and other drought areas. Thus instead of building levees that have to be maintained and always fail, as is being presently done, build large pipes and high pressure pumping stations.
Great idea, but there is no political will in this country anymore to get projects like that done. By the way, the region is not designated as in a meteorological drought, but as an agricultural and hydrological drought...fyi.
Let's not forget about California's Salton Sea, that is drying up at an alarming rate well. Though not used for drinking water, if it is allowed to completely dry up, it will be an environmental catastrophe.
So basically Vegas intends to take all the water??? Is no one considering that Vegas and whoever else is taking all the water is the reason for the lake going dry, not a "drought" (I am convinced that word is brig twisted from any real meaning). Surely the lakes has experience dry seasons even dry decades before? Something stinks!
that tunnel is why the lake is so low they dropped the water level so there was less pressure on top of the tunnel that way they don't risk so many cave-ins and in the event that the tunnel water has to be used Las Vegas will be the last ones to get cut off remember Vegas and Clark County Nevada itself only takes up but 1/92nd of a share of the lake water.
You news reporters are so thorough. I just love how you explained how that is going to help anything. What I heard and replayed again to make sure I hadn't missed it, makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever.. According to this video, they are going to pull the plug on Lake Mead and send it down a 3 mile tunnel that leads back to Lake Mead. Now, they also lose the water that was used to come down to the tunnel and travel back to the lake. What a waste of the taxpayers money. If that's the whole story, somebody needs to have their head examined.
OMG--are you that stupid?? what you said is NOT what is going to happen. I suggest you get someone--a 10 year old will do--to explain to you what the engineers have done.
how could they possibly choose to use the line "they are going to open up the hole in the bottom of the sea"? WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN here you have a tunnel apparently about tapping ground water or something and no explanation was given about a damn thing.
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is.We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.God told Noah exactly how to be saved, how he must build the ark. Noah didn't come up with his own plan like people are doing today. A sinner's prayer, you just have to believe, etc which is not in the bible.The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Jesus Christ truly loves you. Do you truly love him? If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you.
Water pipelines across the USA is the answer, they do it with oil so can easily be done with freshwater from areas with too much water to areas with too little.
I am happy lake mead levels went down and exposed American and pueblo history. I am extremely happy that experts are sure that lake mead will most likely never reach those levels again that covered St Thomas and many of the towns devastated by the hoover project. i am sure California isn't too happy about water never returning to those levels again at lake mead, but cannot control nature taking back what belongs to it, dry land.
Seems pointless spending all that money under one lake that is likely to run completely dry, at some point. It's about time the USA developed some kind of water grid, similar to what we have with electricity. Water can then be channelled from parts of the country that always have excess.
Great idea to put a drain in the bottom of the lake. Now it is 2021 and the lake level is at the lowest in history and is still dropping. But the golf courses in Las Vegas are still green so it's OK.
How the hell is draining lake mead gonna help anything.. If the drought persists, that will be it for Las Vegas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Barstow, and every community for 300 miles in any direction.. What are you geniuses going to do then?????
If global warming and desertification are fake news then this is unnecessary. The lake will refill in its own good time. If, on the other hand, this is not a drought but a reflection of global warming then once all the water is gone, it is gone. This tunnel buys time but it doesn't fix the underlying problem. You either adjust your water consumption to fit the water available now or it will happen anyway later.
The 70% of the earth that are oceans with some very large pipes. If we can pump oil from Alaska, we can pump water from the coasts. You have a better solution to the water shortage?
Perhaps you are too young to remember and know too little basic economics, but: 1) in 1965, I paid 30 CENTS a gallon for gas for my car, 2) The price for all free market products fluctuates with supply and demand as exemplified by #1, and 3) if oil can be piped from Alaska to The US, why can't water be piped long distances. In terms of value, oil is a luxury, water is necessary for life.
Expensive short sighted fix. The lake does not refill due to diversion up river. Farmers and ranchers up stream have depleted this hub of electricity and life. Fountains and pools, Green lawns and Golf courses don't help, not to mention the Private lake in the gated celeb Community just a mere 20min drive from the lake itself.
You move the water from here to there and think that is the answer. You still have too little water that you spent a fortune moving to a new place. You need much more water to wet the desert and its people. The ocean is the only choice such an amount of water exists. Better get moving or praying for continuing ongoing heavy rain.
According to scientificamerica.com it costs $1 to over $2 to produce one cubic meter, (264 gallons) of desalted water from the ocean. It costs 10 to 20 cents for the same amount of water from rivers or aquifers. 264 gallons of water would be enough for two people in one day. It is higher but very doable. If people want to live in deserts they should be willing to pay this amount, if not move.
Wow people just turn things around and other people listen to this and believe it instead of doing the research now see why this world so messed up stories like this that is not true
Ok. You have got to get rid of those ancient hydro turbines. Most of your energies are being lost in accelerated mass. Redo do your science and you can decrease your hydro power water load to one sixth its present rate. How? Just ask me I'll be happy to explain. In detail.
we can build oil pipelines all over the world why not a water pipeline, from missouri river to coloradoo river or columbia river to lake mead, we can solve 2 problems keep the ocean from rising from the billions of gallons of good water that drains to the oceans,, the other with the water diverted to lake mead we can grow more food and give life back to the people all over the world, or how about the great lakes build a pipeline,
I'm not a scientist I don't know how to read the data, maybe they are right maybe they are wrong, but if we do everything the tree huggers want us to do, and it turns out the planet getting warmer had nothing to do with CO2 or any of the the other stuff they say is bad, what's it going to hurt, some shareholders of some corporations don't make as big a profit because they had to spend extra money to do things cleaner. If we don't do anything, and it turns out we could have helped slow the warming down, we're screwed. Better safe than sorry.
Yep, it's a marketing scheme. Whether they are marketing their skills for jobs/grants or investments and sales like Gore. It's all about the benjamins.
This tunnel does nothing to refill the lake -- it's a giant drain underneath the lake to enable its total demise.
You caught onto that.
i believe the lake has a leak under hoover dam they have shut down tours untill august for strange reasons
the money for this project should have been used to build a pipeline to the Pacific ocean........then pipe the water into the state.................California should build conversion plants on the ocean.................problem solved
Its demise is already set once the lake is unplugged. They do it to save what water is left.
the desalination plant in San Diego only a small cost to monthly water bills per customer
you build a large city in a desert and put a lake in the desert where neither were meant to be, what did you expect. it's called a desert for a reason.

Like people in Vegas are going to miss out on their company making millions of dollars a year
Should be filling up this year, after all that snow we got in Mt. Charleston.
This may sound like a stupid question but couldn't an intake pipe be ran deeper into the bottom of the lake and pumped out? I don't understand why the water has to be drained downward from the bottom of Lake Mead.
Not a stupid question. I was thinking the same. The only thing I could think of is this reduces the need for pumping stations.

Great idea! Instead of managing your water better, just figure out how to drain what is left so eventually there will be no water. Brilliant!
Dumb comment
Dman Nevada smart comment , they were being sarcastic
They failed to mention that this is all going to be completely useless if the lake dries up completely which it appears that it is going to do sooner than later. It's really frightening when you think about it.
Is it me they don’t actually tell you the whole thing here and WHY do you need to PUMP the lake in when it all gravity feed???
Where is the update now that the lakes are all full?

Don't be scared. But Canada has contributed in a small way to the problem.
Try filling it up like it was done in the beginning? Use that source?
What is the benefit of draining Lake Meade from the bottom do, don't you need more water from a new source?
John Sumner- Since the lake has been dropping, the intake pipes aren't getting enough water.
The commonsense reaction for these people would be to drill water wells way outside of Lake Mead but they don’t have enough sense to think that I think of knowledge
There is so much water that could be channeled there but it would cost a shitload
Not really. Environmentalist will never let it happen.
What’s the update on this
Currently, now at 42% level... Higher than when this was made.
How long is that going to last
Remember, the first drop of water that ever fell on this planet is still here.
So tired of hearing this fallacy about every original drop of water is still on this planet. THINK !!! We have sent THOUSANDS of manned and unmanned rockets into space. ALL these vehicles contained WATER--which was used up in space. Hundreds of gallons of astronauts urine has been vented in space, it takes WATER to build space probes which never return to Earth. SO-----------we do NOT have as much water as we started with !!
lee fintel To be honest that means that 99.999999999999999 percent of water is still here then
Where did the water come in the first place ?
Since the water dropped down to the original intake, a new intake was put under the lake. That is all they had to say.
That's not what happened.
Build high pressure pipes and fast moving water pumps in a nationwide water switching network, to redirect damaging flood waters from areas of the country that are flooding into areas of the country that have drought, such as the May 2019 Arkansa /Mississippi floods, to reach Lake Mead and other drought areas.

Something stinks!
Lake Mead reservoir supplies drinking water for 40 million people in NV, AZ and CA as well as irrigation water for ag industry
Southern Nevada only receives a 3% water allotment from the Colorado River, how can it possibly take all the water?
In 2010 the water was almost full on the dam so I don’t know what caused the water to go low
Nope
that tunnel is why the lake is so low they dropped the water level so there was less pressure on top of the tunnel that way they don't risk so many cave-ins and in the event that the tunnel water has to be used Las Vegas will be the last ones to get cut off remember Vegas and Clark County Nevada itself only takes up but 1/92nd of a share of the lake water.

WE had "all" better get down on our knees and pray to GOD for forgiveness and ask for the return of rain and snow.
Stop drinking water and drink more Beer..Try it..
we can build oil pipelines all over the world why not a water pipeline, from missouri river to coloradoo river or columbia river to lake mead, we can solve 2 problems keep the ocean from rising from the billions of gallons of good water that drains to the oceans,, the other with the water diverted to lake mead we can grow more food and give life back to the people all over the world, or how about the great lakes build a pipeline,
OMG--you actually think the oceans are rising because of the water WE put into it???? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
pull plug on lake mead & drain it ?,awesome idea should be dry in what 18 mths ?

What amazes me, people can see this kind of thing happening, and still not believe in global warming, or climate change as they say now.
I'm not a scientist I don't know how to read the data, maybe they are right maybe they are wrong, but if we do everything the tree huggers want us to do, and it turns out the planet getting warmer had nothing to do with CO2 or any of the the other stuff they say is bad, what's it going to hurt, some shareholders of some corporations don't make as big a profit because they had to spend extra money to do things cleaner.
If we don't do anything, and it turns out we could have helped slow the warming down, we're screwed.
Better safe than sorry.
Yep, it's a marketing scheme. Whether they are marketing their skills for jobs/grants or investments and sales like Gore. It's all about the benjamins.
c smith, by that logic we should have a cop on every street corner. Or don't human lives matter to you more then the environment?
Well, climate change is real, global warming isn't, The climate is always changing.
Global warming is fake news.
