Lake Mead Plunges To Record Low Amid Drought-pocalypse

So Brent, if a person just liked Stalin's personality, is that a good reason to vote communist? That is what you are saying. In fact, if it were not this point, you would find another excuse to vote, support and defend anti-American values.

I wish you would just drop you line of weasel-ism because all you are doing is infuriating everyone else.

I’m here for your entertainment! I can see why you liked trump so much, you’re just alike.

I can see why you liked trump so much, you’re just alike.

Thank you very much.

How have I changed my position on anything here? Unlike many here I can form opinions on individual issues and not just be a puppet following their party lines. When it comes down to it I am for tough crime legislation, strict immigration, able bodied people having to work and not get free handouts, education reform, and many other conservative issues. I still thing trump was a pig though, and that was due do his behaviors, not his Republican status. If the ones here can’t handle me not believing in their savior then why even bother responding to my thoughts?

I have said what I think so there is no point of repeating it just for the sake of debate.

Everyday on the weather channel they say the southwest, including parts of California, have been getting a lot of rain, including flash floods. All that water must be running off to somewhere.

Wasn't it just 2 years ago that the spillway at Orville dam was damaged by flood waters, asking for a feind....

 

[Mountain trapper]

Even parts of Death Valley was underwater just a few days ago.....

Homeless bums even have their own YouTube channels...

That guy has the right idea. Move them on.

One possible redeeming trait of some homeless bums : they pick up bottles and cans that litter the streets and cities.

Lake Mead’s steady decline hits low water mark 06/09/2022
Drought, dry conditions push Lake Mead to lowest level on record | Las Vegas Review-Journal (reviewjournal.com)



"As the western megadrought worsens, the nation’s largest reservoir hit a new worrisome milestone this week.

Lake Mead now sits just 29 percent full, dropping below 30 percent for the first time since the reservoir was initially filled more than 80 years ago, according to the most recent weekly report released this week by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation."

Looks like California’s ideals are about to come crashing into their needs and requirements. Resource conservation is an ideal put forth to do away with resource development. Turns out CA really doesn’t care about conservation. Just control.

I am worried this will be the fate of Texas as well. Hopefully they get their heads out of their posteriors soon.

1) Don't build in the desert.
2) Don't put 10 houses on one acre of land
3) Get more people off public water supplies and more on private wells where you actually worry about waking up one morning to have no water!
4) Stop with the lawn vanity already!

Watch out for the mass migration.

'Moment of reckoning:' Federal official warns of Colorado River water supply cuts

'Moment of reckoning:' Federal official warns of Colorado River water supply cuts (yahoo.com)

"The Colorado River’s reservoirs have diminished to the point that significant cuts to the water supplied to the seven states that rely on it will be necessary next year, a federal official warned Tuesday.

Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton told the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee maintaining “critical levels” at the largest reservoirs in the United States — Lake Mead and Lake Powell — will require large reductions in water deliveries."

"But human demands for water from the Colorado have far outstripped what it can provide — indeed, what it ever could provide."

Everytime I turn the weather channel on they're talking about all the rain and flooding in Arizona, Colorado and California. Where's all that water going?

Into the parched ground. Few or No reservoirs.

I thought lake mead was a huge reservoir. A lot must be running in to the Colorado River too. California has a number of reservoirs.

Swimming Pools

When they start "banning" them, instead of farming, I might think they are seriously concerned.

Many people get their swimming pool water out of the ocean. Don't know how many have salt water pools though.

If California was truly serious about doing something to save water, they'd start by deporting millions of illegal aliens and other undesirables.

These brown invaders might be drinking MY water, but they’re not using it to take baths and showers. They stink!
