Title: Lake Mead
Post by: Ladislaus on July 24, 2022, 07:09:03 AM

Lake Mead provides water to 25 million people, and it's nearly gone.  This'll help bring us to another phase of the WEF plan to declare a "climate crisis".

Not good at all.

There has been a lot of rain in the Southwest the last 3 yrs. Alleged drought conditions could be a hoax. I wouldn't be surprised if the pic is from a few yrs ago. :popcorn:

It is my understanding that Lake Mead provides a lot of water to the Las Vegas and other places in the area.  Even though the area is really a desert there are a lot of very green oases around the place.  So, is it that there is drought or is it because people keep increasing the amount of water consumption?

California Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico are also affected by loss of Lake Mead water.

Lake Mead Nourishes 60 Percent of US Agriculture and is Dying, New NASA Images Show

Newly released satellite imagery from NASA has illustrated how frightening the extent Lake Mead’s decline has reached after years of drought.
The lake is not only the largest manmade reservoir in North America, but according to comments by Patti Aaron from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in a June 2 interview with PBS (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/persistent-drought-causes-perilously-low-water-levels-at-lake-mead), 75 percent of the Mead’s water supplies an agriculture network so vast that 60 percent of all U.S. food production relies on it.

NASA’s Earth Observatory released (https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150111/lake-mead-keeps-dropping) a trio of photographs, one from 2000, another from 2021, and another from 2022, showing the extensive decline — not only in visible depth — but also in size and extensive swaths of the lake that have dried up.
(https://img.visiontimes.com/2022/07/NASA-Lake-Mead-Drought-2022-600x500.jpg)NASA satellite footage of Lake Mead taken July 3, 2022. The reservoir has fallen to under 1,050 feet, its lowest level since 1987. Tens of kilometers have dried up. (Image: NASA)
The federal agency states the photographs were taken with the Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 satellites.
While the image from 2000 shows a body of water deep blue in depth color and full, the 2021 and 2022 images show much of the lake has become shallow green.
Additionally, where water once was, shorelines are now characterized by “light-colored fringes,” which NASA explains are “mineralized areas of the lakeshore that were formerly underwater when the reservoir was filled closer to capacity.”
The phenomenon is called a “bathtub ring.”

Based on a visual estimation of the photos, it appears that more than 10 kilometers of Lake Mead’s Northern area has totally dried while close to 20 kilometers of the Eastern area has vanished.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (https://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/mead-elv.html)’s data shows that Lake Mead is at its lowest level since 1987 at 1,043 feet.
Data has only been reported up to June.
The water level has already fallen nearly 25 feet this year alone.
In 2000, the water level was more than 1,200 feet, which NASA explains is close to the Lake’s capacity of 1,220 feet. At that level, the basin would hold approximately 9.3 trillion gallons of water.
(https://img.visiontimes.com/2022/07/Lake-Mead-Drought-Compilation-600x500.jpg)A compilation of NASA Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 images showing the decline of Lake Mead between 2000 and present. Tens of kilometers of area have gone dry and Mead is at its lowest levels since 1987. (Image: NASA)
The agency explains that in addition to Lake Mead’s woes, nearby Lake Powell also stands at 27 percent of its total capacity while the entire Colorado River system is at only 35 percent.
The Colorado River system is significant to Mead and Powell because snowmelt flowing through the system from the Rocky Mountain range accounts for approximately 90 percent of Lake Mead’s annual water.
The remaining 10 percent comes from precipitation and groundwater.
Tedd Florendo, Chief Meteorologist for Las Vegas 8 News Now, told PBS that people often ask him how humanity can refill the lake.
 
Florendo’s reply is sobering, “I need over a decade of above-average snowfall in the Colorado Rockies to make that happen.”
Lake Mead is extremely significant as it supplies a population larger than most countries, supplying power and water to 25 million people.
40 million people in the San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles metropolises, in addition to as much as 5 million acres (7,812 sq. miles approx.) of farmland, rely on the Colorado River Basin for both hydroelectricity and water.
A May 12 article by The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/what-is-dead-pool-a-water-expert-explains-182495) explains that the situation is dire, as Lake Mead is at risk of becoming a “Dead Pool,” a phenomenon characterized as when a reservoir becomes so low “that it can’t flow downstream from the dam.”
A July 18 CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/18/us/west-water-cuts-lake-mead-colorado-river-climate/index.html) article explained that since Mead is now below 1,050 feet, a “Tier 2” shortage has been declared, limiting the amount of water that Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico farmers may draw from the Colorado River.
Just five feet away at 1,045 feet, California becomes saddled with a reduction as well.

I don't rule it out that this depletion of Lake Mead was man-made somehow (whether by draining the water out somewhere or using weather-manipulation technology).  We just had those leaked videos of CNN execs (by Project Veritas) talking about how climate would be the next crisis, and Schwab has had similar things.  So, suddenly we're having record heat waves in Europe, etc.  Biden is reportedly on the verge of declaring a "climate emergency".  Just a coincidence?

I believe Lake Mead was formed artificially in the early 1900’s as the result of flooding, but then kept artificially open?  I keep watching to see if they find a fossilized Jimmy Hoffa in it.

Bingo! They did drain it purportedly to have water for Vegas.

Drilling Under Lake Mead To Drain The Last Drop (https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/drilling-under-lake-mead-to-drain-the-last-drop/) Dane Wigington GeoengineeringWatch.org Many are now aware of and justifiably concerned about Lake Mead soon becoming what is known as a â dead poolâ . When this milestone is reached, the ramifications for tens of millions of Americans is beyond grave. What is not being discussed is the Lake Mead 3rd intake drain that was designed to drain every last drop

The last 3 yrs there has been normal or above normal rain in the Southwest. I have been in LA many yrs & know when there is drought conditions-- It isn't now. :cowboy:

Subjectively (meaning "noticing what's happening at home," our own microclimate) we have experienced far less of a "monsoon" (Yeah, we call it that even though it is laughably less than the heavy rainfalls of Asia) season for the last 5 years than when we first came to Phoenix. This is the first in the last 5 years that we have had anything recognizable as a monsoon. Following weeks of sustained temperatures in the teens, the cooling associated with the monsoon is as welcome in the garden (Go, melons, go!) as it is to flesh and blood. It's not yet what it was (we are still in monsoon season), but definitely better than the last 5 years so far.

Since .gov/.zog has repeatedly been caught lying about "climate change" "data," I see no point to spending even a nanosecond examining their "objective" data lies.

Events in Asia and North America suggest there has been an ongoing weather warfare paralleling .gov/.zog biowarfare on Chinese agriculture (swine flu, avian flu). Geoengineering Watch has done good work on chem trails. I'll look at their Lake Mead analysis.

Writes Vicki Marzullo:
Low Lake Mead isn’t due to “climate change” after all.  Who would have guessed? 1.5 billion gallons of Lake Mead water was used for a rich resort lake near Las Vegas.  I guess that’s what the pipelines under Lake Mead were used for.
