The solution is pretty obvious, no release until water reaches the operational level, bypassing the penstocks just prevented generation , and made a drought worse.
Yes let's not improve and make use of the resources that make industry and products that we need and of course we should t desire the recreation and enjoyment we get from such frivolous efforts! We should stay home and do what we're told by a bunch of self-important brain dead self indulgent ,would be rulle5s !
Nobody's telling you any of that. You can't improve and use resources that don't exist. They aren't draining the lakes to be mean to you.
Idea: tear it out?
You are trespassing
Ok, so lakes coming back to normal levels is a bad thing.
I meant to post this a long time ago. This is my neighbor's ring camera a year prior to this incident. Sound is at .21 kzread.info/dash/bejne/qq6ZkrqCgZm2naQ.htmlsi=D5O3Ss4OaQVR74H2 Sound similar?

Sounds like they need to go to Antarctica and get some ice
Things to come............
Solid 👍
COME ON MAN okay so heres the RUB, if the damage was just found WHY now, when the water levels have been so low for so long did it take till now to declare the damage no one work while dam is barely running or what seems this government job is no better then the TRUMP secret service allocation, all DEI HIRED i suppose
Wonderful!!!
Hi guys, I was watching a livestream on Fremont last night and it was really pouring. Do you ever go to Fremont?
Sure do! Hopefully they were under the canopy😂 It was coming down like crazy and it floods bad Wonder if it was Other Me?🤔 Lot more likely to go to Fremont aka "downtown" than the strip. They've done a really good job revitalizing DT and opening new businesses / bars down there over the last 5-10 years
@mojo.adventures The Other Me was there and Sin City Angel.
After all the droughts those states have suffered, it is a blessing, but it doesn't mean people can waste water again.
Stop logs so you can repair
Oh yea. Isn't it called summer and happens every year.
Oh i saw that partially but was blocked by building thx for posing this ❤
He needs a hat!
Maybe a nice Stetson 🤠🤣
Should have been there 1990 nothing there but heat😂❤
To follow up. Might I use your full name on this quote? "The desal plant there sounds like the same problems here also. By the time anything is approved, funded, and built... the service area has outgrown the solution and is outdated." (Here would be Los Vegas?) I'm finishing up a Water Watch editorial and the city of Rosarito is talking desal again after the other one went into litagation 10 years ago. Humanity likes to avoid reality. We all need toilets and most toilets need water. But it did get people's attention, now what would be their intention? To learn how to conserve? HA. Drought and lack are the only thing that forces conservation. Your new work will pay off in the future for sure. What is coming is going to need many clear heads and voices. You are one. In my way of thinking, there is a perfect set up for civil war. Wise ones for decades knew this was coming. So did we. KZread will always give us plenty of deniers. But those living in reality will benifit. Keep on keeping on!
Of course Martina! Thank you for asking👍 You're welcome to use anything we discuss here. Most important thing to me is that the information gets passed around. In regards to Las Vegas I'll tell you... we seem to be a bit ahead of the water reclamation curve, but we are falling behind in many other areas due to the uncontrolled growth. I think the "institutional cash buyer" problem is a bigger issue here in Las Vegas than even the water supply at this point in time. All we hear is promises of "more affordable housing" and "more inventory", but the growth won't stop and it seems NONE of it is affordable. Infrastructure has been neglected. We're having power outages right now like L.A. due to the excess usage by all the new homes. City leaders ignore the residents and cater towards outside interests, drawing in an elite rich new tax base. Locals and long time residents can't afford rent or to purchase and are becoming homeless by the week. Meanwhile, city leaders and developers work in cahoots to sell ENTIRE BRAND NEW developments to "homes for rent" corporations who can then price fix entire neighbourhoods and lock out more middle class locals. Then you get into the rabbit hole of water usage rates and excess usage fees and all that. Locals really feel like this is leading towards "Water World" where the "have's" get the clean, pure water, and the "have-not's" grovel in the mud bog together. The people and families who literally made Las Vegas from the 50's on are being replaced. I know I got off track, but desal seems to be a bigger focus in California and in Baja also where apparently it is much needed. I can see that becoming a big issue leading up to 2026. Even with the water situation worked out though, we can see from Las Vegas that different issues are right behind it. More water = more people = more problems.
@@mojo.adventures Wonderful, but for some reason I don't have you given name. I've sited you as Mojo to direct people to your channel. But for this would like your first and last if you will.
@@bodhimartina6985 Well that one went right over my head...🤦 Yes I see what you are asking now. My bad, I was in a hurry to reply and went off topic. I'll send you an email to the address we were chatting at before.
That is so darn cute! I can't wait to see the Sphere with my own eyes.
It's a sight that's for sure! You're going to amazed it looks fake sometimes👍
If global warming is causing all ice to melt shouldn’t it be released into the atmosphere as rain and we wouldn’t be in a drought anywhere? Meanwhile Iowa is flooding and getting too much rain
It sounds as if they are going ahead with repairs. From what I can tell (from press releases), they are going to line the discharge pipes with an epoxy coating. I picture this as similar to the sanitary sewer linings often seen in neighborhood projects wherein contractors install a green colored liner (activated by heat?) to extend the life of deteriorated sewer pipes.
Interesting info, thank you for that! I'm going to have to look into it now. That's pretty cool some viewers had actually suggested the epoxy lining. I've seen that process... looks like a sewer snake comes out the other end and cures then they just cut off the excess. Imagine the size of an industrial one...
Don't get stoned and watch this with the sound off and your own special music on. Don't you dare !
Is this like a "Dark Side of Oz" thing? I'm intrigued now... 😎
Is that required 9 million acre feet release by Lake Mead still valid? Last year, I think they were well below 8 million, thought that was because of all the water in California reservoir meant they didn't need it. But even this year, they'll need to do 18000 cfs average to get to 9 million acre feet release and they've been nowhere near that.
That figure apparently went down to 7.5 million acre feet this year from the voluntary cuts. This was pointed out to us by @dobrinich channel (another good water update KZreadr!) I started doing the outflow calculations now based on the 7.5 maf. That's what the 71% outflow is based off of in this video. I'll tell you kayaking below the dam would be NO FUN at 18000 cfs but would make for a heck of a tube float 😂
@@mojo.adventures Ah, makes sense. Yea, it just might turn into a white water rafting trip at 18000 cfs :D. Thanks for these cool videos, enjoy your summer.
Install smaller diameter pipe from above to below the damaged section with flared ends,welded to existing pipe. Install additional metal along the bottom section if needed. Reducing inlet flow to slow cavation. Lower flow better than no flow.
WOW look at you! I am subscribed, but just ran across this on KZread. Your new grafics are pro, and branching out. Is this a preparation for the impending reallotment of water negotiations? I have learned that Baja, Mx has already been cut 33%. They have funding now of 1/2 billion dollars US for one desal plant (but investigation suggests desal of any impact goes for a full billion dollars per plant) But for the corruption it would have been built 15 years ago. It is so far off the coast, I'm not sure how they will get the pipes to the water....as it will cut through the heaviest part of the tourist section of Rosarito. Sigh. it would have helped 15 years ago. But population has nearly doubled. Now they will need at least 2 more, as development has not slowed, but actually ramped. Condos sprouting up like weeds. Its time for me to start writing again. It is folly, I know. But I can't help myself.
Hey there, thanks for the feedback! I took time off looking for a video editor so I could get videos out faster, but it ended up just me learning the video editing and graphics software on my own. Always hoping to improve a bit so I'm glad you noticed some new visuals! I am indeed trying to branch out a bit so I can cover short stories and news articles like this one without making an entire lake update. I think I'll start separating the "Water Level Reports" and the "Colorado River Watch" stories so I can get more content out. I don't think this has much to do with the impending re-allotment, I think it's outside of all that. Hopefully it will go state-wide. As we've both discussed before, any voluntary cuts or action would just eat into the bargaining chips that are brought to the table in 2026. Dare I say... this action is being done just simply to "do the right thing?" 🤔 Regardless, I have been getting a lot of feedback over this video. In the emails too. Apparently people really don't like the "toilet to tap" nickname specifically. I thought I did a decent job of presenting an even keel on the situation... not presenting it as either good or bad. But not everyone felt that way as I guess that nickname is a real sore spot for the reclamation industry and in California. I mean... how much worse could it be than our Lake Mead "boats, barrells, and bodies" water? 🙃 Wow, 33% cuts?? That is wild. A full 1/3 of the water supply! Imagine telling the Imperial Irrigation District they are going to get a 33% cut in the 2026 contract. I think there'd be a literal civil water war. The desal plant there sounds like the same problems here also. By the time anything is approved, funded, and built... the service area has outgrown the solution and is outdated. And on we go...
Keep watering them lawns and filling those big pools. Be dried up sooner than you expect
ONCE AGAIN, THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE VIDEOS, THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION. DAN KERR BRUCE MINES, ONTARIO, CANADA
Outstanding, glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment👍 Hope all is going well up there this time of year!
@@mojo.adventures YEP SUMMER ARRIVED AND SO DID THE RAIN........IF IT DOESN'T LET UP I'M GOING TO TANK IT AND SEND IT YOUR WAY SO WE CAN GET THE HAY OFF THE FIELD........CHEERS
Jail time
Wow, that is beautiful! I never saw them here where I'm at. I grew up in Alaska and always missed them there too. 😬
Alaska, how cool! I went outside thinking I could look up and see it 😅 Found out you need a long night lapse or camera filter to even catch it.
@@mojo.adventures Oh!! I didn't know that. I don't feel so bad now 🤣
Absolutely beautiful

How far back do your temperature records go?
Not very long in the grand scheme of things, If I recall correctly weather recording at the airport in Las Vegas goes back to about 1937.
Imagine the down stream DAMAGE that would happen.. Look at what is now happening with the RAIDIAN. DAM
Interesting place. I have been there a couple times. I would not want to live there even after "clean up."
Thanks for the update! Were you affected by the hail? Cheers all~
Of course! Thank you for checking out the video👍 No hail out this way like last year, it's just brutally hot and dry now
Thanks!
an east coaster, jst wondering about the state of lake mead here. great video. thanks!👍
Of course! Thanks for watching and leaving feedback👍 Spent a lot of time in VA back in the day and I sure do miss summertime up and down the east coast. Fell in love with the desert 15 years ago and never went back...
Well done
Should be a law against cavitation. Limit water to 11 m/s.
None of that real estate is for sale. All those houses there are illegally developed and those people are trespassing. There is no legal claim for pollution for housing illegally developed next to a mine.
Interesting, I haven't heard anything about that yet. If you are referring to the new builds across the street in the video, I believe those are part of the existing "Lake Las Vegas" build out. Thank you for watching and sharing the info!👍
Wellllll….it is a desert. Building a town there probably wasn’t a good idea to begin with. Seems like most of the water is going for fountains and watering lawns.
Wear your life jackets... I don't care if you're an adult. If you just bought a boat, get educated! This lake can get bad quick. Captains, do not drink out there!
Good advice here, thank you! 👍 So many of these stories on Lake Mead start with "they just jumped in, I turned around for a second and they were gone!" Then you mix in drinking, partying, carelessness. I don't think folks anticipate the shock of 55 degree water on a 110 degree day either. It was sad going through the blotter. Something about the lake I don't trust... I even put lifejackets on my dogs!
Ahhh you make a lake in the desert humm and the lake above it is full and then you have a dam just letting water go. The lake las vagus is full another desert with rich people with huge boats humm sounds like if your not rich you will die.
True! The reservoir above Lake Mead is filling fast but at Lake Mead it looks like we're about to have another drought catastrophe. The information can be presented in any number of ways. That's just what I'm here to show👍 Gotta look at the whole situation. You're right about LLV also... since Basic Water went bankrupt they have to buy water from the city of Henderson to fill the vanity lake. So much for a "shortage" I guess. We have a video on that called "Behind the Drought" if you're interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/poKduLZumZfViNY.html
Let's see,,110 degree hot weather, no water, very little farm land,,,Why live there?
Agree! It's really NOT for the majority of people, especially those who hate it and want grass lawns, backyard pools, or set their A/C at 65 all summer. But there is good farmland around the Overton Arm and the desert holds its fair share of treasures and opportunities for those who can brave it... 🤠 I won't say any more because there already are too many people here who hate it and want to change it to Dubai or East LA as fast as possible, and our city officials are 💯 on board with that
Thanks!
Rockstar! Thank you for showing so much support to the channel👍 We're lucky to have folks like you interested in the videos. Really motivates us to keep making content. Have a good 4th coming up and if you ever want to see something specific covered around the lake/dam let us know!🤠
Good brief. You are the place I go for Lake Mead news. Enjoy your summer.
Glad to hear that, thanks @sammyhead 👍 You as well and stay hydrated out there!
the best solution is use 40% less water and let the lake levels rise year after year
