Hey Liz! A very interesting research and commentary on the toxicity aspect of environmental drought and impacts of dust storms! You strike me as an inquistive investigator-researcher, with a well-balanced disciplinary education! What definitiely separates you is your power of observation and most importantly ingenuity! Combined with a knack for story-telling for all to understand in a friendly manner, you're very talented documentarian. Okay, that's how I see you and why I appreciate your presentations! Looking forward to hearing about your soil analysis! Don't forget to buy a small stash of disposal gloves and disposal masks in your field kit! 😊

You are right to be concerned. Nobody seems to question why things like cancer have increased so dramatically over the last 50 years. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for putting in the time and effort to do this. Fascinating and very captivating wake-up call. God bless and be safe.

Hi Liz! I'm your first thumbs up for this video! Very exciting! I think this video is important because people aren't grasping the long term effects of Lake Mead drying up. Over a century ago, California decided to drain Tulare Lake and the end result was dust that affected many people that led to long term health issues and even death. The state eventually turned the lake into wetlands to prevent the dust from blowing. Anyways thanks!

Randomly discovered your channel searching for Lake Mead content. This was FANTASTIC! Now subscribed for updates, keep up the great work!

Hey Liz, You're doing a great job with your soil sampling. One thing I would recommend with future sampling projects is try and collect mostly the fine, silty/clayey deposits now exposed by the receding lake water. These are the deposits that will easily blow around and be carried great distances by the wind. Wherever you see mud cracks in the dried lake deposits, in those waters will be the very fine to fine silty to clayey soil particles. Also, in your research, google the University of Nevada, USGS or BLM or Nevada departments of geology and ecology and related health departments for research papers and reports on fine lake sediments collecting behind Hoover Dam. Flowing river water carries suspended sediments and when the sediment laden water enters a quiet water body or lake, the sediments drop out of the water and form very fine bottom layers or laminae. Each tiny laminae contains any aerial material that fell into the river or lake that year. That's why the river water is often murky, but the lake water is much clearer. These layers are often times seasonal where one deposit might represent an annual period of deposition, kind of like the annual growth of tree rings. You might discover that slight radioactivity becomes prevalent in the 1950's but not present prior to that decade. I'm just guessing about that, but also alert to that possibility occurring. I'm betting your western federal government offices like the BLM have core sampled lake deposits upstream of the dam and possibly they have analyzed those lake core samples for organic and inorganic hazardous materials. Anyway, you're doing a great job and I love your channel.

Hi Pixel Chi, thank you for that information, it is very interesting, about the layers or laminae. I tried to collect the finest sand, but in some areas there were small rocks and shells in it. I was concerned the samples would come back as unusable, but that did not happen! It was fun collecting the samples, but it took me nearly 3.5 hours for 5 samples. I'm not sure I would repeat this experiment again! LOL. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

I remember stories from a few years back of long abandoned mines filling with water for decades then it busts loose flowing down to rivers and such. An overlay of maps of mine locations on top of the entire area that drains into Mead could be telling. The water from old mines doesn't have to bust and flood out to be a problem,it can seep or get into springs to enter the natural drainage finding it's way to rivers and lakes. Thumbs up for you.

Nevada is massively eroded from mother nature, no mining was needed to release the toxic materials.

i thinkthat this video is going to be the most constructive video on lake mead since the lake became news in the last 10 yrears. good job

At one time there use to be Owens Lake which we diverted the water from that lake for California's consumption back in 1913. Soon after huge dust storms kicked up smothering the local towns. Now they have water sprinklers covering what once was Owens lake keeping it moist and holding back the dust storms. Same thing will happen at the Salton Sea it's only a matter of time. Btw, we use to go to Salton Sea all the time, and it's sad to see what's happening to it now. Like the video Liz!

Good video. The same thing happened with the Aral Sea and the Salton Sea.

Results are in perhaps with you dropping this video to warm us up :-). Im glad the channel is gaining traction. You could replace most of our local reporters if you so desired.

Great video, always enjoy them, no way I'm leaving before the end.

Hi Thanks for all your due diligence in showing what is going on all around us! Ya Lake Mead is pretty much a toilet that is not getting flushed enough at this time! Who knows what the toxic levels of the water and soil is? No i am not going fishing there or swimming any time soon. Take Care!!!

Great video, very scientific, thank you very much for your time in the hot desert sun...It's the hottest time of the year here in South Florida right now... We are fortunately a subtropical climate with monsoon rains that keep us from serious drought and the water is rapidly collected by the Aquafer...I Look forward to your video productions... ...artist, Old Naples Florida.🌴🎨

The most contaminated soil can generally be found directly behind the dam and also where washes and streams enter the body of water. Like you, I’m also an amateur scientist 😃 and find this content very interesting. Thank you for taking time to produce this video…Looking forward to seeing the results when they are available.

Good morning Liz. Another interesting video.

Good job. I love your videos.

Yayyyyyy! My favorite beautiful stunning youtube gal posted a new video! Hello from Texas.

Excellent video

Scary, I use to visit Vegas and lived in the west coast received the run off from Hover dam and nearby lakes. Now I’m glad I move to the east coast but we have our share problems too, like hurricanes and tornadoes. Here they call it “Hurricane Season” they expect it to happen yearly, sometimes more than once a year.

Valley Fever. Dirt Devils. Snakes. Spiders. Scorpions. I'm never moving!!! ❤️my AZ & the Desert!!! Lake Mead will fill up after a brutal snowy winter. 🤞

Liz if you would do water samples from the river channels that flow into the ocean you would be shocked to find out what chemicals are flowing out from neighborhoods and streets into the ocean where your kids play on the beaches

Hi Dan, I'm sure it's disgusting.....we can't see it so it's easy to think it's not there...

We rode dirt bikes behind the Silver Bowl and Vegas Wash. While riding the wash when dry we questioned what was on the walls. It was dried T.P. from the sewage plant. Guess it was from a flash flood that overflowed the plant. Never rode there any more. Nasty. This was in the late 80s.

Saw some drone footage at 5:48, but I know that wasn't from you just yet. Maybe soon. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting on the results video.

Liz! Go make an episode on recent rain fall and tell us about it. Did lake Meade increase in water level?

A few years back I saw on the NEWS that the city of Philadelphia PA. had done a test on the local drinking water. The water had over 800 different prescription drugs traces. Think of all of the med's that get flushed from Las Vegas and above stream.

Lower Colorado Basin farming soils which are now being fallowed could produce plagues of locusts, grasshoppers and possibly human health illnesses such as 'Valley Fever'.

Hello Liz, any results? Waiting to see your video.

I know its too late now but just for "S's" and "G's" you should have hiked around the remnants of the Three Kids Mining area and gave them a soil sample from there, it would make their labs scream "HOLY S***!" I used explore that area when I used to live in Henderson.

Hey Liz, Your Vids are always a Pleasure for Me to View. And it's Ok not to be a Scientists 2000 Years ago, The experts said the World was Flat, so who Really Knows.... Lol ..

Definitely a global drought Texas needed 4 good raining season but in last two weeks there drought is over this is happening everywhere with these floods be safe the dust blowing off lake Mead is not healthy so be safe

Aloha Liz...Just a few questions: (1) Does the test kit literature say that the results will include the identification of more than just lead content because there are many more harmful contaminants besides lead which could be present in the soil; (2) the wetlands runoff into Lake Meade was a bit sobering, and interesting that the abundant animal life and the surrounding foliage was in stark contrast to the surroundings of the non-wetlands areas (i guess the animals are unaware how dangerous it is)...does anyone monitor that runoff into Lake Meade?; and (3) Regarding the dust, I wonder if any air quality alerts are more particulate percentage based rather than particulate identity based?...Kudos to you for your usual high quality presentation...

I'm curious to see your test results.

Forgot this. While cleaning out my pool chlorine tester in my kitchen sink ( your not suppose to put it back into the pool , fyi, pool empty right now during the drought ) I found that there was more chlorine in my water than in my pool , which was showing no chlorine at all. lol. Buy a small kit or borrow one from a friend and test it yourself. You will find the chlorine in Vegas Valley coming out of the tab has more chlorine than the recommended amount per parts for pools. It was yellow orange ( the test tub) as I washed it and the water hit the chemicals inside. I was in shock. This explained to be , as I learned about the importance of gut bacteria to the immune system, many of the digestive problems i was having. while our water needs to be clean, I dont think it should have to kill our good gut bacteria and microbes. So make sure you get your pre, pro and post biotics into your gut for the sake of your overall health. Be Blessed!

Thank you for taking the time to do this video and soil samples, its excellent! My problem is with the article. It doesnt name sources, we see this time and time again. Its always an anonymous professor from a university study. It seems they no longer giver verifiable names of the people they are quoting or name of studies. Back in the 70 's it was smog and acid rain. I was young and it frightened me. They no longer frighten me but offend my intelligent. It seems they just want to alarm people with bad or inadequate science and information and they love to point out that its always the humans fault as to the toxicity of the air and earth. This and other articles fail to point out that asbestos, lead, mercury , baron, etc are naturally found in the soil ,in some areas more , than other and stands to reason the drier the area the more concentrated it will be. Back in the day, as mentioned earlier it was acid rain. Rain has always been acid , it also contains hydrogen peroxide and multiple other chems. The emissions from volcanos puts tons of chemicals , dust, into the stratosphere where , even ancient eruptions are still circulating the globe, which is why if your going to drink rain water , it needs to be filtered. My biggest concern over our water , even though it gets filtered and cleaned before use, is all those rotting bodies in lake mead an toxify from boats and their oil and fuel. Again , great job and I will watch anything you post. Your a fine journalist and we need more interesting , fact finding expedition and honest delivery!

Where did you get that shirt?

One of the rangers at the Salton Sea told me that they're concerned that Palm Springs might become uninhabitable when the Salton Sea's lakebed dries out enough, because the evaporation is concentrating toxins in the lake, which remain in the lakebed when the water evaporates. So it wouldn't be surprising for that to be the case for the Colorado River reservoirs.

Hi William, yes, they are being used for drinking water as well. From Lake Mead it goes into a pumping station for Las Vegas which further cleanses the water and makes it "safe" to drink.

Isn't that almost a rhetorical question considering they detonated nuclear weapons in Arizona and new Mexico since ww2? Like of course the whole area is radioactive, and you've been drinking it, since the dam was built. It's not like lake mead has an airtight lid or anything, nor do nukes radiation stay in one place and not spread into the airstream dropping on everything along its path. Like ugh.

Not any more toxic than the geo engineering falling from the skies.

Lake Mead is a lake. A body of impounded (natural or made by humans) water is called a pond, a lake, or a sea dependent on a mutually agreed upon size. A reservoir is usually a freshwater pond or lake used as a source of potable water. So, Lake Mead is both. After having left teaching 45 years ago (B.S. biology and group science majors, and an MEd in science education) it appears an educator never retires., 😁 Re: "5:26...lakes along the Colorado river system are not really lakes they are reservoirs...)

Across the Globe ?????????? How about AROUND the Globe...
