Lake Mead Officially Drops under 1075 feet. Possibly Triggering Water Restrictions

That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:

Isaiah 19:5
The waters of the river will dry up, and the riverbed will be parched and dry.

Isaiah 19:6
The canals will stink; the streams of Egypt will dwindle and dry up. The reeds and rushes will wither,

Jeremiah 14:5
Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.

Joel 1:10
The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the olive oil fails.

Joel 2:3
Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste-- nothing escapes them.

I will make the streams dry and sell the land into the hands of evil men. I will
bring desolation on the land and everything in it by the hands of foreigners

We are living it, Americans are blind

Definitely happening on the Western states.

Lake Mead sinks to record low

1,074.91 now!

Read 'Cadillac Desert', the timing of the American west being built on an anomaly, an unusual wet cycle and it's now returning to more normal conditions.

Results? Places like Vegas, Phoenix, SoCal are fucked.

Ok. Thanks!

GS, do you know anything about Mountain House, California - meaning if it did ever really get its water supply cut off, as was threatened?


this is too important to lose track of.

bump.

I have actually never heard of it.

Vegas will NOT run out of water. California guzzles 10x out of Lake mead what Las Vegas does.

I can't post a direct link to the RJ story, so find it by googling 'WHY Vegas will not run out of water' and search in the past month (June 13, 2015). The search phrase is NOT the title of the story, but gets the story to the top of search if using the time search of within the past month.

A couple of facts rephrased from the story, and I am NOT quoting. In 1922 there was an act created called 'Colorado River Compact', which divided the water to Ca, AZ and NV. Nevada was to be alloted 300k acre feet/yr (less than 2% of Colorado River water). Since Las Vegas recycles all its sewer water, it only uses 225k acre feet after recycling the waste water.

The problem will be California's and Arizona's, not Nevada. It appears as though once they use up what they were allotted, their faucet gets shut off? Las Vegas has up to 8 years of water in storage even if the Colorado River completely dried up, which won't happen as long as the Rocky Mountains exist.

No problem, they will just print more water like they print more fake money (credit).

Oh wait I just realized that while they were busy printing fake money so they can inflate the prices of their fake assets they forgot about the water.

But, as I said, never fear they will print more water.

even if they cut off California las vegas will also dry up. did you even read the article? there has been no increase in nearly a year all levels have been dropping. really you wont run out of water really?

there were threads on it, it is a well-to-do California community not far from San Francisco that was informed its water would be turned off. will look for link.

thirsty yet?!?!?!?!

Right now, 600 feet beneath the lake's glassy blue surface, a massive custom-built tunnel-boring machine -- almost as long as two football fields and heavier than four 747's -- is plowing inch by tedious inch through wet, fractured bedrock. Spanning nearly 24 feet in diameter, its rock-gnawing face is alive with the movement of 44 disc cutters and 23 knives.

The Big Gulp-style tunnel it is boring will eventually intersect with a concrete-and-steel riser installed in the bottom of the lake, like a drain. Two intake pipes already carry water from Lake Mead to Las Vegas, about 25 miles to the west. Known as the Third Straw, Intake No. 3 will reach 200 feet deeper into the lake -- and keep water flowing for as long as there's water to pump.

Expected to be operational summer 2015.

You live in the Hualaipai Valley? Near Kingman, AZ? That is where the foreigners drilled 40+ wells and are draining the water to grow acres & acres of alfalfa in the desert heat.

they gonna dump powell some to keep that above 1075 is my guess

Really. As long as tourists and residents are peeing in toilets (not in pools, or back yards), water will flow in Vegas. Recycled Vodka = tap water. Get it? ..and yes, I did read the article. I test in the upper 2% of the nation for reading comprehension. Most likely I retained more info from the article the first time through than you could by reading it 20 times and memorizing it word by word.

i think you mean 'tested', genius

it can only flow if the rain shows up and I flake mead has water right? so if lake meade continues to not get rain tell me exactly how long does water tatthe level isgoing down last?

No, I still test in the upper 2%. PRESENT TENSE, genius.

why are you testing? sounds like bullshit

I just realized this is like that movie, "Rango"... I'm going to have to give it a re-watch. I was pretty certain that it really sucked the first time I saw it, but maybe Johnny Depp left some clues behind...

Urine flows downhill. Vegas sewage flows from west to east.

'..most of the reclaimed water, called effluent, is released into the Las Vegas Wash. A portion is diverted to Wetlands Park, golf courses, parks and businesses. Along the 10-mile journey to Lake Mead, water from the Flamingo center mixes with water from treatment plants operated by Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson.'

Why not discover your space-bar?

This subject is moot. Read the article:

THE LEVEL IS FEDERALLY CONTROLLED!
Federal water managers let the closely watched and regulated surface level at Lake Mead go to a new record low overnight, before guiding it back above a crucial drought shortage trigger point

The government controls everything.... Does it surprise you that this is a manufactured event?

Whenever I see a picture of this brackish pool of formerly fresh water I think how the hell are plants and people drinking that? This stew is getting concentrated by evaporation and the heavier diluted sludgy crap just has to be at the lower levels. PH dissolved salt all kinds of pollutants radiation, list just goes on and on. This has to be a LIHOP DEPOP. Get yer tin foil hats here!
