LAKE POWELL

I am sure you have seen and heard about Lake Powell reaching record lows and everyone is claiming it’s due to climate change. Today I saw the linked article and it explains in detail what’s really happening.

Here’s the short version. The Colorado River was dammed to create a huge lake in the middle of a desert. Every year until recently the annual rainfall was more than sufficient to replace the demand for water from Las Vegas and from irrigation to farm desert land. As you will see from the charts and graphs in the article is that the input has not changed but due to continued growth of both Vegas and agricultural the lake is being drained. Of course you are unlikely to see this anywhere in the msm but at least now you will know what’s really happening and it ain’t global warming.
