Lake Mead Is Almost Empty
Ойын-сауық
It really is sad how low Lake Mead really is. Dropping by the day it's only a matter of time before all of her secrets are revealed. Boats have already surfaced and some are now literally on dry land that was just months ago under water.

If you look at the lake from a horizontal perspective, it's shaped like a V. So, if you are removing water at the same rate over time, the level will appear to drop faster and faster as time goes by. I don't think people really understand the gravity of the situation.

My last year here in Las Vegas. Town is so upsidedown it's crazy. They just keep building. Houses will reach Mt Charleston in another year. Lake wasn't designed to provide for millions of people.
That 2:45 is so shocking. I lived in Vegas in the early 90's and this was always an issue about water levels. Well now the worst has happened. I feel for you and everyone else that lives there. Just my two cents here, tell the developers to stop building in Vegas and the west. No water, no building.

Lake Mead is 182 ft down. The lake at full pool is 532 ft deep. So its a good ways from being empty.
Shocking. I know its been getter lower for many years, but this is getting ridiculous now. How can it recover from this. Great vlog Marc

Sadly, there really isn't anyway to bring the lake back. IF it were to fill back up naturally or artificially, it would have to be slow, continual rain/water over a period of YEARS. Torrential rains or piping tons of water in a short period of time - less than a year (if it could even be done), would probably just cause sinkholes and/or mudslides. They hoped to fix one in Geogia, late 1990s or early 2000s... it was fruitless. Really sad and scary stuff. The last time I was in Las Vegas was 2007. The lake was beautiful then.

Actually I um, borrowed the cart from Albertson's, the left front wheel wobbled causing my consumption of Old Mildog's to exceed my calculations. Not enough fuel is a killer, just ask Jimmy Doolittle! Learn from my mistakes, next time I'll rent a Caddy from Avis, damn it gets a tad toasty in the afternoon.

Seeing the reality of the drought and extreme water loss at Lake Mead is a very serious situation for Southern California. When looking on Google Earth throughout California, all the lakes are fringed with a white appearing shore line. That is evaporated wate area, some smaller lakes have no water left in them. Makes me wonder about the condition of well water supply on private properties in Central California. 🤔 Thanks for your coverage of Lake Mead O.O

Two lakes near me in NM are going dry too.
With a very low snow pack this year in Colorado Lake Powell can only let out only so much. The need for electricity water is more important than just water. At the moment it has enough water to sustain water as well as electricity from Hoover for the next 12 months, no problem.
Wow, so sad the water is gone!
My State is full ty for passing by lol
These are troubling times.
You're doing good
I was there about 4 years ago & it was dry then. But 2 years later it was full. Lake Mead goes up & down due to rain & the dam.
I know the spot: My last three trips-boat never showed, tip of boat showing, and then boat completely sitting on dirt. I was so sad!
Helpful hint for driving on sand .... let 25% of the air out of your tires which will increase your tire footprint by 200% and dramatically increases traction. I shoot regularly in a sandy dune environment as well as drive on snow with rear wheel drive which is dicey if you do not prepare your vehicle for it. Many have died in the desert in Nevada, new Mexico and Aridzona because they didn't accommodate for sand ... also don't keep bottled water in the hot sun in the back as they will burst leaving you with not very much. Yes, a few people have died that way as well in the past ... got stuck and had no cell service and their water supply broke. They died ...
@megatrends

PS - If you drop your shift (if automatic) into D1 or D2 you will increase traction instead of spinning your tires. I've driven in snow storms in that gear as long as you are not driving over 40 mph you should be fine.
My sump pump has been going off every 8-10 minutes everytime we get a good rain, we're suppose to have an underground spring under my neighbors garage. My house is up on a hill. I think my basement floor is level with the street in front of my house. When it doesn't rain for awhile, the sump pump goes off about every hour ( maybe cause of that underground spring).
