Lake Mead Water Level Mysteriously Plunges After Nevada Quake
ZeroHedge.com ^ | 24 May 2015 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 05/24/2015 8:13:40 PM PDT by Rockitz

A 4.8 magnitude earthquake (originally reported 5.4) shook Las Vegas and surrounding areas Friday morning causing roads and bridges to be closed. The quake went little-reported outside of local news (since there was at first glance minimum damage caused) but, since the quake's occurrence, something considerably more worrisome has occurred.

In the 36 hours since the quake's occurrence, water levels at Lake Mead have plunged precipitously. While we know correlation is not causation, the 'coincidence' of an extreme loss in water levels occurring in the aftermath of one of the largest quakes in recent Vegas history does raise a suspicious eyebrow - especially when there has been no official word on the precipitous decline.

Hmmm.... I guess there could be a connection.

Some are claiming it was bad data.

From Wiki:

Lake Mead receives the majority of its water from snow melt in the Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah Rocky Mountains. Inflows to the lake are largely moderated by the upstream Glen Canyon Dam, which is required to release 8.23 million acre feet (10.15 km3) of water each year to Lake Mead. Hoover Dam is required to release 9 million acre feet (11 km3) of water each year, with the difference made up by tributaries that join the Colorado below Glen Canyon or flow into Lake Mead. Outflow, which includes evaporation and delivery to Arizona, California, Nevada, and Mexico[6] from Lake Mead are generally in the range of 9.5 to 9.7 million acre feet (11.7 to 12.0 km3), resulting in a net annual deficit of about 1.2 million acre feet (1.5 km3).[7]

Pat Buchannan’s perfidious Neocons live under Area 51.
They got thirsty, is all, so they made a quake to bring some water into their Underworld hide-out.

Uh, so on the story posted on Zerohedge they have the update that the gov. pointed out that the data was inaccurate and has been fixed. Then Zerohedge says something about “double adjusted” water levels.

Is Zerohedge putting forward a conspiracy that the water levels at that lake are, in fact, dropping at an extremely fast rate and the government is hiding it?

Also, what about the Aliens and the Jews? How do they work into this? I’m sure Zerohedge can work it out for us.

The “sky is falling” website is back again. They should have a picture of chicken little too. Here is one:http://images.elephantjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/the-sky-is-falling.jpg

And here is the MONEY QUOTE from the alarmist article:

“...There is , of course, a possibility that the drop is the result of broken sensors and we will be following up during the week to see if levels normalize....”

I looked up the amount of water in all of the oceans on the earth. The number was utterly staggering. I don’t know why California doesn’t have two dozen desalinization plants going already.

Maybe some joker pulled the drain plug at the bottom of the lake!

Yeah, that’s the ticket. The time it takes to check sensors should give public officials some time to spin the rationing required with a drop below 1075 feet and keep the panic to a dull roar.

Perhaps instead of waiting for sensors to reset themselves they might send someone out to look at the lake? I know it works wonders for the NOAA when they look out the window.

But Israel has desalination plants!

Megascale Desalination
The world’s largest and cheapest reverse-osmosis desalination plant is up and running in Israel.

Availability: now Price: $0.58USD/cubic meter
http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/534996/megascale-desalination/

It is the world’s largest modern seawater desalination plant, providing 20 percent of the water consumed by the country’s households.

The new plant in Israel, called Sorek, was finished in late 2013 but is just now ramping up to its full capacity;

Those plants account for 40 percent of Israel’s water supply. By 2016, when additional plants will be running, some 50 percent of the country’s water is expected to come from desalination.

Maybe it’s a coordinated, sinister and diabolical effort;)

"Update: moments ago the Lake Mead National Recreation Area officially denied that the online reading was accurate blaming the water level collapse on inaccurate water levels as of this morning."
