Lake Mead is the largest, and most important reservoir in the United States. Throughout the past few years, water levels at the reservoir have been steadily declining, causing an array of problems throughout the American southwest. However, 2024 has brought new hope to the region, with rising water levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell.
However, rising water levels at the reservoir are not predicted to last. Therefore, what does the future hold for Lake Mead and the Colorado River?

Good to see the water coming back. Was looking dismal there for a while

It's man made. The faucet can be turned on to fill it up and the plug can be pulled to drain it. There's no crisis.

Please compare the same pics. Any honest presentation takes into effect all Colorado River dams. And Meade increases as Glen Canyon recedes. The Southwest is in grave trouble.

Pumping runoff water from either Greenville Mississippi or Memphis Tennessee to Durango Colorado could help reduce flooding in the eastern U.S. while recharging the desert western region (Colorado River) with water.

There are "Pacific Ocean evaporation technologies" that could provide ALL the fresh water California needs and not requiring ANY water from the Colorado River system.

LV doesn't use anywhere near as much water as the surrounding states do. Ironically, the city of excess is a beacon of resource recycling, and is largely self sustaining as far as water and power go. My wife and I moved out of LV in 2022, concerned that water levels were dropping too low and could make our pool, and therefor our property, obsolete. We didn't want to risk it. Sad to have left, but happy to hear Lake Mead is making some recovery.

Lake mead is a man made Lake. The only environmental damage has been the flooding of the basin when the hoover dam was built in the 1930s. Low waters is a good thing as it restores the landscape back to its original form.

Please do a video about why California, Oregan, and Washington will not build a series of resevoirs along the west coast to capture all the water being released into the ocean. Greed, stupidity, politics? It's not rocket science.

@mikemerlo4156 - being an Oregonian I have a few ideas. If we drained the Columbia to fill auxiliary reservoirs then all the commerce ships couldn’t make it to and from all the rivers ports and the Portland ports on the Willamette River. Completely butt fucking a large chunk of the economy. Then it would further affect the fish, which would further butt fuck the Native Americans. So you say build a damn at the mouth of it or any river that goes into the ocean. These would be 10’s of billions to trillions of dollars if it’s even doable, would end fish runs, and flood areas where a lot of people live. So yeah, seems like a bunch of easy things to navigate.

Stupidity knows no bounds when partisan hackery gets involved in people's lives. You do know that 90% of our politicians are bought through legal bribery? The dems support doing something about climate change because they're being lobbied by companies that want clean energy to take over. At least that has some material benefits for the planet and our future survival. Republicans are 100% owned by the oil companies. Some dems are also owned by the oil industry. Just not as much. Politicians ONLY move when lobbyists tell them to move. They do nothing for us unless what we want is what lobbyists want. You really have to understand how deep the corruption goes.

Climate change is nothing but a pyramid scheme being played out across the world. It will continue as long as there is money to be made off it's back.
