Lake Mead is the largest, and most important reservoir in the United States. Throughout the past few years, water levels at the reservoir have been steadily declining, causing an array of problems throughout the American southwest. However, 2024 has brought new hope to the region, with rising water levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell.

However, rising water levels at the reservoir are not predicted to last. Therefore, what does the future hold for Lake Mead and the Colorado River?

    Good to see the water coming back. Was looking dismal there for a while

    LV doesn't use anywhere near as much water as the surrounding states do. Ironically, the city of excess is a beacon of resource recycling, and is largely self sustaining as far as water and power go. My wife and I moved out of LV in 2022, concerned that water levels were dropping too low and could make our pool, and therefor our property, obsolete. We didn't want to risk it. Sad to have left, but happy to hear Lake Mead is making some recovery.

    There are "Pacific Ocean evaporation technologies" that could provide ALL the fresh water California needs and not requiring ANY water from the Colorado River system.
  • As someone who lives in Georgia, this was an interesting video to watch. Was hoping to see more information about water though.

    Best video to show why Las Vegas should keep growing (differently). Grow more food indoors
  • @ronl2463
    I can explain it too; It rained, don’t take no rocket scientist to figure that one out!
  • @DanielWatson-vv7cd
    Pumping runoff water from either Greenville Mississippi or Memphis Tennessee to Durango Colorado could help reduce flooding in the eastern U.S. while recharging the desert western region (Colorado River) with water.

    Good thing lake Powell is filling lake mead. But poor lake mead taking the hit
  • @Ricky40369
    Quit using the water for ethanol production.
  • @mikemerlo4156
    Please do a video about why California, Oregan, and Washington will not build a series of resevoirs along the west coast to capture all the water being released into the ocean. Greed, stupidity, politics? It's not rocket science.
  • They were rising for a couple weeks I was out there today and it s gone down 10 feet in a week
  • @jsl964
    POLITICAL AS USUAL. KEEP GOVT OUT OF IT, Create a canal systrm from the northwest that caputure rain water runoff and diverts the excess to the needed area. Why usnt it done? Money and politics. Too many peopke making yoo much money off the shortages
  • just build a giant underground pipeline under lake Michigan just don't tell great lake states lol.
  • @TrendyStone
    I enjoy your updates. And regarding climate change...I've concluded that all weather I don't like (too hot, too cold, too much rain, not enough rain) is always republican's fault.
  • 🤥 you are more than double since 2~3 years ago fake fotos are not going to help your false narrative. Trying to hide that big chalk line is hilarious 😂
  • @mbbno
    They need to start moving people out of las Vegas and shrinking the city. Other cities and areas in the southwest must end any new development.
  • @ErikKoenig-fv3nr
    Only reason level went up is lake Powell was let go to fill it up lol isn't the run off get an education buddy
