Anyone know if you can launch off "ski beach"? Ski races we used to launch off beach. Still possible and if so, how muddy is it?
Danny! Probably very muddy. The water has dropped so fast, not much dry time.Anyone know if you can launch off "ski beach"? Ski races we used to launch off beach. Still possible and if so, how muddy is it?
Shhhh, quiet about that. Everyone should go to Lake Mohave or Havasu. Lake Mead is way to low to have a boat on.I bet Callville is open
Man, you nailed it on the head. That really makes you sit back and think how really screwed up and corrupt our state government truly is. So many BS claims of "Our state is the 5th largest economy in the world" blah-blah-blah-fucking-blah, give me a fucking break . . . think about how much easier and beneficial an aqueduct as you describe would be over a fucking 'Bullet Train' . . . and 'cheaper' I bet as well ! It makes you almost lose any hope for this sorry state . . . which is probably what they want you to do.Desal plants are simply nuts. The cost and maintenance is astronomical. And really, it’s only a band aid. I’ve said before, build an aqueduct from the comumbia river, down to the northerun most part of the CA aqueduct system above Lake Shasta. Its only like 400 miles. Then tie it in to the rest of the system all the way down the coast. If we as a nation could build the Erie Canal in 1817, that’s over 360 miles, we could certainly build a modern one from the Columbia river. But since it would solve ALL the water issues in the west, well, we all know it will never be done. The big moneys WANTS water to be a very finite commodity, that way they can overcharge ALL of us for it.

But you know they will hit you guys with a gnu tax to pay for itA De-Sal plant was just approved by some committee / county, or some bullshit entity to be built right near my house in Huntington Beach.
I think they are going to use the cooling pipes from the old powerplant that run under PCH and into the ocean.
It still has to get final approval from the Coastal Commission, but I'd venture to say it's a done deal.
The residents of the area have been fighting it for it years with petitions, city council meetings, websites, etc. etc.
I knew it was coming, they just drew-out the inevitable. Someone apparently sucked-off the right person to get it passed.
The thing that gets me is that the water apparently produced will be sent elsewhere and sold for a high price relative to what the water district charges.
So not surprising, it just sounds like a giant money grab rather than a solution to a water shortage.
So the illegals entering komifornia might actually be able to be called wetbacks?Watched a thing on the news last night. The colorado river will flow into the sea of cortez in a few weeks
Its been nearly a decade.
This is to save the environment near the border in imperial valley
Thats where some of you mead water is going
Last Saturday in the gorge ive never seen the flow that hard.

It is if your a politician in Sacramento as it won't effect themBUT!! running Out Of Water, is Not an Option?
Soooooo,.... now we know.... this whole ordeal was to cut az off the water supply from the colorado river..... AZ has a problem with no fix... as in they are a train running hard and gonna run out of tracks... So here's whats happened... corp. investers have come to AZ and bough up a huge amount of land,... and from what found,... out of country investers... they bought up huge vacant areas... there's no restriction in place as to how much water they can have,... theey just drill a well, when it runs dry , go deeper.... local of this farm area have now had to re drill their wells, as they have run dry... the farm lands are sucking the water out for free and using it as they please...... and there's no law to stop them... most the profit from these farms is going over seas... I read that they have sucked the ground water over 100',,,, and still pumping,... I aslo heard that az is pumping water from the river back to underground storage.... when They loose 40% of the water from the river....... things are gonna get real bad...

The show " killing the colorado " showed this scenerio too.I was reading about severl who were warning County Supervisors about this situation back years ago and they did NOT take it serious and these Investors did their Homework and Crossed the "T's" and Dotted the "I's" and now Arizona can Sue all they want, but these LLC's followed what was legal at the Time. Piss Poor Leadership.
Water is becoming Way More Valuable than OIL.

Ok I’ll bite. Storage where?Here is some fuel for the fire, the river is high as all get up, got a call at the storage from the military, wanting to store 2 40' military boats for a long term contract. Seemed odd to me.
Very cool.... you can search things like mead and Powell on that... likely the whole worldGoogle Timelapse

The Saudi's have bought lots of farms in AZ jbetween parker and Phoenix and are growing feed and shipping back home. Nobody wants to get into the water laws to help fix this problem.Soooooo,.... now we know.... this whole ordeal was to cut az off the water supply from the colorado river.....

there's pretty much nothing they can do,... there is no limit to the amount of water you pump out of your well,.... I was just up in salt lake, the news said they upped the peoples water bills 400% to stop people from wasting water on lawns,,, the lady also said it's pretty easy to spot those people, she said if your lawn is green you are wasting water and will get fined...The Saudi's have bought lots of farms in AZ jbetween parker and Phoenix and are growing feed and shipping back home.

you could be right, with the bridge in place, I never thought of that, but I do believe thats why they put the deep straw... I believe it actually goes down farther than the 800' mark,... and I believe they can go deeper if needed...Ya gotta get rid of the water to dismantle the damn , you all know where this is going .
RM, you crafty IT guy...did you find this yourself or heist it from my earlier post?Google Timelapse

Also.... as of 6/30/2021... lake mead is at 1068' and they're still dumping.... pretty sure they will go way down and do the boat ramps , then maybe let the water come back up a little.... but,... just my guess, look to see 1050' or less before they stop...
LMFAO...."FORECAST"....but... now I can see whats happening for sure with the help of the lake graph ...so in 2016 the water level was 1084'... but because of the extreem drought... and water orders (LOL) ... the fk'n lake rose 5' to 1089... in 17 & 18 .... then from 2018, worst drought in the history of the planet,... even more water orders and such.... correct me if i'm wrong... but all that drought for 2 years cause the lake to rise another 10' so it was at 1098' so with every thing the same....no rain... construction still booming..... you're telling me that someone put water orders that took 30' of water out of lake mead in a little over a year????? with today level @ 1068... and a year ago @ 1098,... they predicted that???? and you know they didn't dump it out, even though the river is near flooding,... water goes up the sea wall in havasu...... splane that again LUCY!!!!!My guy at the Bureau says they expect 1040 now by the end of next summer, or maybe it was summer '23. They had forecast for 1050 but said they just revised a further 10'
More water orders than inflows.

Fuck, you are way harder headed than you Dad told me.... so where did the water go????? all the water that powel dumpped??? well I'll tell you... it went to mead... and then like I said mead just dumped 30' of water in little over a year,,,,, here's how it works,... just so you know... not say'n you will learn or understand, as you argue with the sign post and take the wrong road home.... just think what would happen if you lived in vegas or LA..... but there is no way we used 30' of water... that 30' got dumped out, just like the 150' they dumped out... believe what you want... and justify you own thoughts... but whats going on is ridiculous, the fact that they blame every thing on something else to hide what they do... Oh and tell me again how the FEDS. protect every one and makes sure the gov doesn't do any thing wrong to the people and how transparent they are2016/2017 had a huge snowpack, brought powell up 40 feet, 2017/2018 was light, they dropped a fuckload out of Powell.
From Oct of 2017 to April of 2019 Powell Dropped 60', in that same time period Mead came up 13'.
Do the math. They drop 60' out of powell, and mead comes up 13'.....
Splane that.
LMAO
There is more than one lake brotha, you have to look at the system as a whole, not just cherry pick.
