I used to scuba dive in Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota when it was at its lowest back years ago. The experts said that it was going to take 15 - 20 to maybe even 30 years to fill back up. The next year I dove in ~30 - 40 feet of water just to get down to the beach I parked and camped on the year before and I think that later that summer it peaked so high they had to use the flood bypass for the first or second time ever for the Garrison Dam as well.

We could’ve had a 500% of average winter and the experts still wouldn’t be happy. They love to be negative!!

@@montydanable As for not predicting this record snow fall the 'experts' themselves would be the first to admit that there is much we don't know. And predicting the weather is difficult at best because there are so many variables. So I don't fault the individuals involved in weather prediction because they are human too and our science and technology is still limited what it can accomplish and it has also come a long way in the last 50 years.

Gotta love these alarmist. Even when things get better its ALWAYS doom and gloom. They want us to live in constant fear and dispair.

Wow this is a god send! It caused a lot of damage with the rain and snow, but heaven knows we needed the water!

It's a start, but there's a long way to go

ONE MORE YEAR LIKE 2023!

AZ needs more dams to capture water, every year they release water down the salt river, although it recharges the ground water, it wouldn't hurt to enlarge the water supply,

Load up Powell to 70% full pool then feed Mead.😏

Huge snow pack and one hot day they fear the dam might be overcome with water,

Save water!!!!!!!!!!

Lake Mead getting 50feet is promising cause in 2019 it didn't much.

You should thank God for the snow

we should have a national water control system .the greatest generation would of had that done already.

Briefly is a great word . That water well be depleted by mid summer!

That’s incorrect. Where tf did you get your information????

Record annual snowfall, not enough? Someone needs to be fired.

Now that Arizona cut off the Alfalfa farm from drilling more water wells. And if we find out where they're taking their water from now we might find out and many will be surprised how much water they're actually extracting from the Colorado Rivers underground aquifers it might make sense where a lot of the water's been going

40 percent such a LIE

Wrong. Maybe 35ft by 12/23.

it dropped 4' bc they released a lot of water to clean up the sandbars and feed Lake Meade.. That has been on the news.. But this story about the 50' rise is just BS..

It will be gone with a year. Vegas uses far too much water. They need to add solar panels on the lake to reduce evaporation

Vegas has more than tripled population in the last 20 years yet uses less water than it did back then. As someone who lives here I’ve watch the changes made to everything from water features to fake lawns and we recycle 100% of our water, you can take an hour long shower and waste next to no water because it gets treated and put back into the lake. We are the role model for the rest of the world on how water conservation should be implemented. California and small city’s like Saint George in Utah use far more water per person by multiples.

This has NOTHING to do with Las Vegas population doubling in 20 years. And all the other cities (population increase) down river from Hoover Dam water usage.

I've seen stats showing while Vegas population has increased by 800,000 since 2002, water usage has decreased by 20%. All water that goes down a drain in Vegas gets recovered, treated, and put back in lake mead.
