So what happens when Lake Mead goes dead pool?

Imagine all the political lines that will have to be re drawn.

Who cares they chose to live in the desert lol let them figure it out you'd think they would have massive desalination plants built all along the ocean but they didn't

I saw a vid where a guy did the math based on the current level depletion.

I don't remember the exact year off the top of my head, but it was 2027-2030 before it reached dead pool.

The current rate could accelerate or decelerate.

The point being there is plenty of time for people to sell and get the fuck out before their property becomes worthless...should things continue as is.

No we build world class ones in israel instead.

Go dig

It’s at 27% full at last check, LA has the deepest rights, yes?

uh...so the river they turned into lake mead goes back to being a river like nature had intended.

Some finger pointing and name calling,then another 45 billion to Ukraine.

My guess is the mexicans will head back home.

It has another 60 feet to drop before deadpool.

I doubt this will happen.

I really don't know those details.

I know that the power issue will come before any water issue...because the water is not evaporating, it's being let out to generate electricity.
The water then flows into a series of reservoirs downstream.

I have read that those are at noramal capacity.

It’s V shaped, and the Messonic inlays extend the message into the rocky hillside under the 30’ wings.

It's really the nevada/southern cali area that would have to worry about water.

But there is way more water than people realize in the southwest, on the surface, the problem is, lots of transplants here, only people born here into generational families tend to know all the places, many would be doomed without that KNOWLEDGE.

Lights go out, mostly peaceful looting, white flight, fire sale real estate prices.....

No wonder Pelosi is moving to Florida.

Current level is ~1,040 and Deadpool is 895 ft. Deadpool level would still supply water to Las Vegas but no other locations would receive it.

Also, this is an interesting YouTube channel in the area which has been covering the levels with regular updates.

At 950’ elevation the electricity will be off.

Hoover Dam isn't the only source of water and power in the region. There are others, it won't die completely. But it is a big one and its loss will severely impact the region.

It's going to create enormous instability, physically and economically. It's at a point no one really knows what to do about it. There are no contingencies if Lake Mead fails because no one ever expected it to. They're trying to stall the lake and talk about piping from the Mississippi or something, but it's impractical to expect that to happen. Not that our government cares in the first place.

I don't think the entire region is going to mass exodus out. A lot of people probably will leave, others will stay based on the limits of the other water/power sources they can use.

The southwest will never be the same again though. And the impacts of that will also be felt in the rest of the country. But considering what the elites are currently doing pretty much everywhere is going to be in dire straights by the time it reaches deadpool in a few years.

It actually doesn't have to reach deadpool as the turbine death point is 950 ft. At 950 the power turbines will stop working. At 895, deadpool, water will no longer be flow at all. Currently at 1040.

So 90’ left until the lights go out.

If something drastic doesn’t occur to reverse the decline, Meade will be at 950 in 3-4 years, maybe as soon as 2.

Are there any fish in that lake?

please stay west of the rockies

oregon and washington are nice
plenty of water

Nearer term, I'm wondering what'll happen at 950 when the generators quit spinning. The grid, you know.

If water quit flowing, the economic repercussions would be unimaginable.

Secede.

The word you are looking for is 'secede'.

950 is the elevation where electricity will be cut off completely, but that's not the whole story. Hoover Dam is actually made up of 17 electricity generating turbines. 5 of them have been recently upgraded so they can continue operating until the water level in Lake Mead gets down to 950ft above sea level. The other 12 power generating turbines (which haven't been upgraded) have already been shut off because they can't operate at water levels below 1050ft.

In other words, since the water is now sitting at around 1040ft above sea level (last I checked), Hoover Dam is currently only running 5 of the 17 posible power generating turbines.

I remember about a decade ago people were talking about how the turbines are fake and the whole dam is for show and it actually doesn't generate electricity.

Thank you,
