There is plenty of water in the Pacific Ocean. Just take the salt out before you use it. ;-)
Thanks for posting. Very interesting. (Not good)
On a lighter note...
It’s a desert…

Seems we don’t need so many more people here. Maybe we should just send all the illegals back before it becomes a worse problem.
Grow more grass in southern California deserts and the lake will be empty soon. Time to start cutting back water usage!!!
The Japanese are covering one of their reservoirs with floating photo-voltaic cells that not only make electricity, but also retard evaporation. I saw where the Californians filled one with small, black floating balls to retard evaporation. I never heard how that turned out.
(I hope I can still use the word “retard”.)
The Upper Colorado River basin Snow pack is 102% of Normal as of Today. If the Snows not melting, its hard to fill reservoirs downstream.
How can “climate Change” be blamed for running Hydroelectric generators to drain a man-made, reservoir that has another, larger dam 200 miles upstream That has been rising since April?
The water level of lake Mead is 90% controlled by man, and 10% controlled by nature.
The Japanese are covering one of their reservoirs with floating photo-voltaic cells that not only make electricity, but also retard evaporation.
But the big question is: Can you water ski over them?
They better leave the Bellagio Fountains alone! They are sensational!
That’s right, my priorities are awfully questionable. :)
I wonder if any bodies from the Vegas area have become exposed with the receding shoreline. Maybe they just buried the bodies in the surrounding desert.
It’ll blow your mind how much vegas has grown. They’re still building.
THATS WHY LAKE MEAD IS GOING DOWN!!!! You built in a desert and more and more people are pulling from a man made lake!
I believe you have the wrong river in mind. Salmon are not native to the Colorado River according to my sources. If you have something different, please provide the source. Thanks
The level of Lake Mead is controlled by the Hoover Dam. Shut off or reduce the outflow until the lake fills up again. What’s the problem? Why let the water go to waste by flowing into the Gulf of California?
St. Thomas will be full of bass when (or if) the lake covers it again.
That reminds me: I left the water running all night and all day today. Oh well.
If you are adjusting the timing on your classic car, yes.
Absolutely brought about by climate change.
The only cure is the application of more socialism and acceptance of Islam.
Virtually none of the water makes it to the Gulf of Califonia, in spite of a treaty between the two countries.
They still release the dam water downstream....why? They should not release water through the dam until the lake is at proper levels. I smell politics at play. We are providing water to Mexico also.
Ever in history?
Seems like a pretty bold statement, since it isn’t yet 100 years old but, it is history never the less...
