In 2000 I was told about how the lake was gonna drop 150', and also was told the reason.... I shared this with others, ... through the years, It did in fact do just that.... although The news to others was too far fetched for some to believe, and the result was life long haters.... I was easier to belive that the people in vegas drank all the water, than to believe the fact that they pulled the plug and dumped 150' of water down river..... put that is history now,.. and it is easy to look at the lake level graft and see the drop,... and then level off... so not to argue... belive what you want and lets move on to todays lake rumors' if you will.......
So , heres the story...and heres the plan that is supposed to happen .... now just for fact... I will say that there is no proof to this,... and just rumor... but.... there seems to be a problem between the states... az, nv, and ca. water athority wanted AZ to pay NV to store water at mead....... AZ didn't pay so they dumped the water down river, and told az it evaporated... AZ is sucking water out of the river and pumping it to underground storage.... CA is also diverting water to their state for their use... NV is gonna shut down the dam power, and is in the process of building massive solar fields, they also put a water straw down below the level that the dam will not have enough water flow to run the generator to make power...
So, after gathering info from those supposed in the know........ here's what I think.... be prepared to see a major drop in water level at lake mead in the next two years..... there is a level that the lake has to drop to before lake mead before they can cut water supply to everyone... including AZ and CA.... water authority has been fighting with CA over waisting water for years... sure, they need the claimed water for crops.... but so much water is used to water lawns and fill pools in CA... they have no plan there to save the rain fall, and waist more then what comes down the river ...
So any way,.. time will tell... but heres whats going on at mead right now...... they will be closing the boulder ramp... and the only one will be hemming way.. horse power cove will go away and be come the marina... they are moving the docks out , and I believe it will be so close to the island, that that whole area will become the marina with east and west exits... hemming way ramp is closed as of yesterday... and looks like they are extending the ramp
