The Death of Lake Powell

The Colorado River Water is now not only a major problem, but has gone past the tipping point of a national disaster. California being the bottom step on the Colorado River latter, but actually Mexico is with an allocation of 1.5 million acre ft per year; Governor Gavin Newsom is trying desperately to pull some miracles out of his ass to save his bid for the democratic bid for President. What better way to accomplish this than with a California water issue crisis created by none-other than Newsom himself? With the help of rhino Governors from the PAC 7 States to help him win his victory in 2028, that's most likely when California reservoirs will all of a sudden be miraculously filling up. There was a lot of bad mistakes make with the Colorado River, Lake Powell, Lake Mead and so on. The original surveys used to determine water flow in the Colorado River was done by using tree ring samples, by USGS scientists. They formulated that approximately 500 years ago was the wettest years of the river, so that’s what they based it on 16.4 Million acre ft per year. Not very scientific in my eye. That’s what was agreed on in the 1922, 7 State PAC agreement and has been agreed upon ever since. This is what has to flow down stream by Federal law. This is not only killing the river, but has already decimated Powell, Mead, and soon, Flaming Gorge, and multiple other reservoirs throughout the region. According to federal law, when Lake Powell reaches dead pool, and that not far away, that’s when water stops flowing through the dam; all available water sources must sustain Lake Powell, and the same with Lake Mead. It ludicrous, simply adjust the 1922 PAC to reflect current river flow measurements of today, and stop this raping of our reservoirs with decades old data. If Gavin Newsom wants desalination, he can use some of that missing 24 billion from California's general fund to finance it, not us. The photo was taken at Lake Powell on 07-07-2018 and show the Calcium Carbonate Deposites or bathtub ring at that time. The rings today are 180 feet tall from the water.
