@@oli_onion It's worse than that. As farmers continuously drill deeper and deeper to reach the lowering water table, the land has subsided as much as 10 feet in some places. Still sinking. The water that used to replenish the lake and the water table has/is diverted and used elsewhere, mostly to the coast. If (guessing) the water was used in the valley, I suspect that the water table wouldn't be depleted.., or certainly not as much. However, evaporation from irrigation might(?) be enough to lower the level. Another devastating problem is mineralization. A few decades ago, I was in the area (for work) Square mile upon square mile of farmland was abandoned because of the minerals left behind from evaporation after decades of pumped (well water) irrigation. In the middle of the summer, the fields looked like they were covered with snow. Very similar in appearance to the sea salt evaporation ponds in Mexico. According to locals I spoke with, there was nothing that could be done. Seeing this, I began to truly understand the devastation that ancient armies did when "salting the land" of their enemies 😳 No conquering enemies were involved there, though. They did it to themselves.

When I went over the dam in 1985, the spillways had been active for some time. Went back in 2005 and was utterly depressed after seeing what had happened. When will California realize that *YOU CAN NOT FARM THE DESERT!*
Y'all misguided, Californias central valley, the agricultural hub of the state was never a desert. It used to be marsh lands till massive farm operation come to. We pumped the marshes out and made farmfields as far as the eye can see. The desertification of our region has been a direct result of the farm activity not the other way around.
Retard take. California has all the water it needs, but the bureaucracy refuses to prioritize people over ThE eNvIrOnMent (fish that may or mayn’t spawn the way they want)
They didn't create anything, that water comes from mountain runoff. The reason the reservoir is dropping is because climate change is causing drought. Antarctica is a desert, the Nile quenches Egypt's thirst, and even Iraq is green because of the Tigris and Euphretes, it being a 'desert' has nothing to do with it.
Because that desert has the perfect 24/7 365 growing climate with a water source(rare on planet Earth), and millions of acres of farm land. Where else in N. America does that exist? I have yet to see tomato fields outside of Minneapolis in January, or lettuce fields outside of NYC in December. Instead of thinking it's a bad idea...farmland that's feeding you, something you didn't even recognize, how about being appreciative every time you consume Ag.
Huh. Who would have thought that wantonly sucking water out of the same reservoir you depend on for electricity could result in a positive feedback loop? 50 years too late to make a difference, they're telling people not to water their lawns in the desert. Oy :(

Im in Phoenix, simple solution, turn off the water and power to California. That state is already a disaster, it should just take one for the team and die.
The real problem in addition to the drought is that roughly 90% or some insane number I can’t fully recall now is being used to water crops without outdated and wasteful flood irrigation methods. So somebody is going have to decide do we dry up the Colorado river which 20% of the nation relies on or do we help the farmers upgrade their irrigation methods for the crops we rely on? I would highly encourage everyone to watch the documentary called “killing the Colorado”. It’s very eye opening and easy to see what the issue is.

that's a myth. the vast majority of water in lake mead is used in california agriculture. las vegas is allocated something like 2% of the water, and doesn't even use it all. the las vegas water district is among the best in the country at preserving water. learn a thing or two before you comment. blame california's wasteful habits.
There used to be a massive lake in California but it was drained to grow cotton on the lake bed.
@@oli_onion It's worse than that. As farmers continuously drill deeper and deeper to reach the lowering water table, the land has subsided as much as 10 feet in some places. Still sinking. The water that used to replenish the lake and the water table has/is diverted and used elsewhere, mostly to the coast. If (guessing) the water was used in the valley, I suspect that the water table wouldn't be depleted.., or certainly not as much. However, evaporation from irrigation might(?) be enough to lower the level. Another devastating problem is mineralization. A few decades ago, I was in the area (for work) Square mile upon square mile of farmland was abandoned because of the minerals left behind from evaporation after decades of pumped (well water) irrigation. In the middle of the summer, the fields looked like they were covered with snow. Very similar in appearance to the sea salt evaporation ponds in Mexico. According to locals I spoke with, there was nothing that could be done. Seeing this, I began to truly understand the devastation that ancient armies did when "salting the land" of their enemies 😳 No conquering enemies were involved there, though. They did it to themselves.
Yh and people who built communities in tornado alley have too face tornados!?!? The humanity. Humans have conquered every environment there is, and will always. This is a challenge that will set us up for challenges in space travel.

When will California realize that *YOU CAN NOT FARM THE DESERT!*
Add Arizona to that
Y'all misguided, Californias central valley, the agricultural hub of the state was never a desert. It used to be marsh lands till massive farm operation come to.
We pumped the marshes out and made farmfields as far as the eye can see. The desertification of our region has been a direct result of the farm activity not the other way around.
Retard take. California has all the water it needs, but the bureaucracy refuses to prioritize people over ThE eNvIrOnMent (fish that may or mayn’t spawn the way they want)
Imagine that. Creating a puddle in the desert.
They didn't create anything, that water comes from mountain runoff. The reason the reservoir is dropping is because climate change is causing drought. Antarctica is a desert, the Nile quenches Egypt's thirst, and even Iraq is green because of the Tigris and Euphretes, it being a 'desert' has nothing to do with it.
Mother Nature: We’re in a crazy drought
California: We’re building a water park in 2022!

Nevada doesn’t use that much water idiot. We actually use the least out of the states that share water with Lake Mead
@@julionvalentine1183 jeez chill out lol and it doesn’t matter if you use “tHe LeaSt”. You still use it. I’m sure next you’ll be telling me it somehow it’s liberals fault
@@troyarrington5492 it’s not the liberals fault but it’s definitely California’s fault which is majority liberal so...

Just need to build more houses and huge cities in the desert. 👍
Good idea! 👍
@Sonnie Smiles whispers, "i gave away 1.9 trillion dollars of your great great grandchildrens money"
Yep. Eventually it will just cancel itself out.😂
Imagine saying somewhere in a desert is experiencing a drought…… like duh
Reminds me of the Aral Sea , that was the 4th largest lake in the world...is now only 10% of its size today.
I moved here with my parents in '94. You could drive on the dam then. I remember being able to walk out there and the water seemed only about 10 feet or so below the top.
Same here my family would go from phx to Vegas like 5 times a year and the water was up to the top cruising on the dam. I’m 26 now
@@aaronvilla13 yeah definitely crazy in the desert. I wonder how the median price of homes is effected when they stop allowing landscaping and pools in new construction. I give it 3 years before we are under heavy water restrictions, 10 before the exodus from Vegas.
In the 80's there was so much water that the spillway was used to divert the water to the sides. Population growth and not being frugal to save water is two main causes. That area is a desert after all and so is Southern California
@@kanehi3275 I seem to think I saw water gushing out of the other side, when I was there. Years later, I went kayaking on the kingman side and explored the old tubes they left behind in the mountains. They left some mining equipment behind also. Pretty cool to see. I'm not sure if they do those tours anymore.
@@Glock_Lesn4r I toured Hoover Dam five years ago and the guide said they closed the spillway and placed boulders inside. I used to live in LA 1970-1989. Everytime I visit the water has getting been lower and lower. I also remember when Yosemite was flooded in the 80's
If the drought lasts 3 more years ,here is what will happen. Decreasing food production power generation, jobs, purchasing power and home prices. Increasing heat related health problems, deaths, and .ingestion of people elsewhere.
Yessssss😈😈😈😈😈😈 i hope it happens!!!!!
Vegas will become " Barter Town" break a deal,, face the wheel...
@@cob705 Master Blaster runs Bartertown
Did You just say Ingestion? Soylent Green?
I hope so! Tired of people! Hope it all comes crashing down!
Born n raised in Vegas left for 1 year long enough to know the Holy city was not for me n went right back home. Hurricanes tornados etc not for me, coming from a city n state that don't have natural disasters like that I am good here, but in the 80's as a child lakemead was gorgeous, the water so blue n beautiful, high levels of water we went every weekend faithfully with my family n seeing it today is heartbreaking. I will NVR leave Vegas ever. Ppl born n raised in Vegas is hard too find, but we are very different then the ppl that move here. Working in f&b my whole career in the hotels I have had tourist takes pics with me cus my badge said from Las Vegas NV n they NVR met a person from here. We been told we are lovely ppl n that's why even the Hawaiians dubbed us their 9th island. In Maui my husband n I treated like royals cus where we were from, it was a wild, but amazing experience n I would live in Maui if I had to leave.
When do we start building desalination plants along the West coast?
Never. The consequences of being hell bent on wind and solar is a lack of the energy needed for desalination. Nuclear could do it but pro fossil fuel shills gave successfully tied Nuclear down with too many mill stones to save the southwestern US from thirst.
@@kaymish6178 Well then, Captain Lack of Imagination, no one will be hiring you for the solutions, that for sure.
@@FRACTUREDVISIONmusic I gave you the solution right in my comment. Nuclear energy is the key, deal with the pro fossil fuel shills, remove all the absurd over regulation and it's the perfect solution for all our woes. Especially with modern reactors that can use waste heat to cook CO2 out of the sea water as it distills it into drinking water; 3 birds with one stone solution right there carbon capture and storage, deacidifaction of the sea water and production of clean water for irrigation and drinking.
@@kaymish6178 Ok. Well, maybe U.S. Department of the Interior will read your post here, and offer you the project.
Hard to believe just a few years ago Oroville dam was literally full to bursting
Yup so much water they had to destroy their spillway. Then they spent a billion dollars to fix it right in time for the record drought
yah they were full, from all the rains 4 years ago, nothing to do with climate change, to many people using it. JUst let all the illegals flow in.lol
That would be just over 20 years ago.
@@matthewbaynham6286 yep you're right I was thinking of other dams but it has been a lower point 50 years ago and also if you look at the chart it looks like something happened at the beginning of 2000 water was now being used for other resources once again it has nothing to do with climate change it has more to do with use and waste
Don't drink do much
Hey, let's build a major city in a desert- what could possibly go wrong?!
It's not Vegas it's LA and it's suburbs. California is taking the lion's share of both water and energy
@@MrCTruck this is true. LA can’t support it’s own population
@@MrCTruck LA and its suburbs are cities built in a desert. See what went wrong?
Why do people keep living in Cali if they know the droughts are punishing?
Because the droughts have only started becoming punishing in the last five years and America was built with disregard for sustainability. Climate Change is causing rapid changes in water levels across the country
@@Cotif11 which again, why live in California if living there is unsustainable?
Because nobody else wants people from cali living in their state. They move in then demand changes to turn the place they just moved into cali.
When will there be a building moratorium?
Building a city Ina desert worked out so well
Then that would apply to Utah, California, Arizona and a few others!!😂🤣
It's not really cities in the desert. It's the farms in the desert that's using most of the water.
@@georgehill3087 ahhh a vegan speaks out???
@@alucard2010 How does that make me a vegan? Nice logic. Farms=crops, ranches=animals.
@@georgehill3087 I was being sarcastic. But if we don't have farms how do we eat?🤔
Water intensive almond farming needs to stop. The world can do without almonds.
The worlds water is limitless, we just need to use it with our brains...
i stopped eating almonds about 5 years ago once i learned how much water it takes to grow them.
California shouldn’t be growing almonds and rice
Cashews are the best anyway.
@@RKZX2 how much water did that save
Don’t worry the people of California voted for Biden he’ll fix the problem.

Water from upstream is being used/dammed before it hits the lake as well.
People live upstream.
Some of those upriver have water rights extending from the 1800's, they have priority
@@SpruceSculptures but Riparian water rights mean people downstream have as much right. But people upriver are not the issue here. The issue is the massive population growth of Las Vegas and Phoenix
@@kevinblackburn3198 No, you do not understand. There has been reduced snowfall in the drainage system for the Colorado, all the upstream rights according to date have priority. The lake was full in 1984, no problems.
@@kevinblackburn3198 Les then 50%
The city of Phoenix 's water supply comes primarily from the Salt River Project (SRP) which brings water by canal and pipeline from the Salt and Verde Rivers , and the Central Arizona Project (CAP) which transports Colorado River water. A small amount of Phoenix' supply comes from wells, or groundwater. Phoenix also uses a portion of its reclaimed effluent to maintain parks and for recharging local groundwater aquifers.
This is what happens when you pump water out of states to areas that were once sand areas and dead then build cities
@Tim Mentzer I can really appreciate your comment. It really hit home
Google: Water injection (oil production)
@@getchasome6230 You still pushing that nonsense again?
@@dmannevada5981 Oh look, I have a fan.
And how many years have they had to prepare for this?
For demorats for ever. Get money for them selves.
@@samosasosa6684 dude don't even start
Can’t recall how many years exactly (but definitely less than 7 years), but the main/only local power monopoly (NVEnergy) lobbied the Public Utility Commission to block consumer solar adoption. And with record level temperature (at least didn’t break old records yet) residents are getting alerts to help conserve energy.
That in a nutshell is why greedy, shortsighted motives benefitting a handful of elites and their lobbyists will doom everyone.
And LV trying to grow the city by inviting everyone to move here from higher cost of living states, and their pro-sports teams too. Just not sustainable from water consumption POV.
@@168tsai8 You Explained Very Well.Thank You
Who would of ever thunk a desert wouldn't have water.
no way
I mean… it has for a long time… you don’t think it’s interesting we’re having all these weather issues? The last 20 years have been rough
I have a suburban complex out in the desert for sale. Its going fast.
@@fatjonseatingadventures5429 Yeah but people kept expanding and building new suburban homes out in the desert. Las Vegas and phoenix kept expanding. There are other cities that popped up with grass fields and yards out in a desert where the water has to be shipped in from miles away. Why allow this? The state literally looks the other way and ignores reports that there is less and less water. Put two and two together. You cant keep expanding suburbs.
@Johnny Dong The local police will prob ticket you for driving so slow. They need to raise funding for their bloated budgets.
They knew they were in drought over 20 years ago and did nothing they get what they deserve
That’s a dam shame.
Amazing, I live in a land where water freely falls from the sky. Grass is green, farmer's fields are loaded with thriving vegetables. Where is this land of water utopia? Not in a desert!
I don't believe farmers are thriving with abundance of vegetables. Most famers don't even own their lands anymore. Bill Gates has purchased most of their lands.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
@@erikhaack4123 doesn’t mean u can’t have an abundance of fruits/vegetables
@@erikhaack4123 The loads of vegetables growing in the fields surrounding me seem to suggest otherwise.
Sarcasm aside, desert cities and states are bad ideas
Was the levels taken in the same month?
Maybe california should not have shut down their nuclear power stations?
There was those few tiny problems still, like they built them on fault lines, and are still growing almonds in the f*cking desert lol
@@boxlid214 people just cant let go of almonds milk and avocados can they
@@mrrexychomp9829 The other major thing they love is soy, which is pretty much the sole destroyer of rainforest in Brazil at this point, yet these same people scream bloody murder whenever someone else gives a tree a dirty look. Rules for thee, not for me, now gimme my soy latte lol
@@boxlid214 I really can't imagine who thought building a major city and farming water insensitive crops in a desert was a good idea
I live about 12 miles away all my life, lake Mead is almost gone. Sad to see how much water was wasted. She was such an amazing site to see from all over the world, now she's being graffiti, broken down and abused.
They should have never closed the Nuclear plants in California
San onofre was shut down 7 years ago and they are slating to shut down Diablo canyon in 2024 and 2025 which is a mistake. Clean energy!!!
Let's build them in front of your house then.
0:43 I remember Gordan Freeman having a blast there at the Black Mesa research facility. Sad times now that the water level is sinking : (
awww that sucks
