Colorado's Snowpack Unleashes Breathtaking Releases Of Water In Grand Canyon
Some interesting editing techniques
The absence of any cogent water plan has alienated me for decades. The river has been run by man since the dam was built and it looks like we don't know squat yet.
I know Jack Squat. He doesn't get anything done
Unfortunately, Republicans and those who DON"T know shit influence the use of water from the Colorado...
Amen.
Yes!!!!!!!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. It ain't CO2 either.
The snowpack didn’t unleash anything. The water managers at the dam did.
There are no water managers..
There are no water managers..
There are no water managers..
Those damn operators!😅😊
The dam operators unleashed the dammed up water because the huge snowpack from the Rockies will replenish the reservoir quickly as it melts. It helps to actually LISTEN instead of revealing yourself as a dummy.
remember when they said the pipes were damaged and not fuctional, yeaahhhh right
They open the old bypass tunnels on the Hoover dam let the river run through them
Somehow they managed to make this boring.
It’s almost amusing that it is believed that high flow releases, from nearly crystal clear-settled-sediment free water, aids in beach building in The Canyon. Beach building happened during spring thaws in the past (before the Glen Canyon Dam) because the sediment load was present.
At least the water will be caught by the downstream dam unlike the overspill releases from reservoirs in the SW where the water is headed out to sea.
Build somewhere else .. I can only imagine what it would look like now if people could have left alone ..
Environment needs to be at the top of the list.
I wonder ,of 290,000 acre feet distributed in Denver what percentage is returned to the Platte?
I doubt they care about that river
@@NoirMorter Idk. Some people in Nebraska care because they get their drinking water from that river . That's after it's processed at Denver area sewage plants. So , I 🤔 wonder.
@@Jim-ic2of Yup I 've seen how the pan handle area has been suffering. I doubt anyone in Denver cares. I need to look up the typical rainy season for that part of the state.
@@NoirMorter Apparently bean counters are paying attention. Last time I checked it's still illegal to save rainwater and leech fields are not permitted. They want your black water back . Is fear the mind killer . Or ?
Don't forget about overuse Arizona it's saying no to alfalfa fields to Saudi
I can't wait to see your video. But the amount of commercials is weird.
I'm sorry to hear that but don't depend on me
@@EveryNewsTv1 -- I'm really enjoying your channel content, thank you, cheers =)
Yet another explanation, I read CO reservoirs were almost full last year=their river me 1st during drought and it will take little snow melt to full pool so they’re releasing now to protect their systems. I also read better to shut Glen Canyon dam down than the work needed. Looks like both reservoirs will have enough to generate hydropower and deliver water to Mead. I can’t imagine CA drawing on Mead 2023, we have no place to put it, expecting snowmelt to last well into summer.
lack of education......
Indeed. And it makes more sense if you translate it in to Chinese.
Let a little more water out to the river after you flood it
Wait until you see the sierra’s melt….
All that water ends up in the pacific.
if they don't release the water how will they keep the drought going???
The Colorado river needs the water. People would complain if they had a golden goose. All of that is desperately needed down the river no matter what some jackass says about the sandbars down the river. And i pray to God that there is more water to come for the Colorado river.
That's why they are releasing all this dammed water for the first time in 5 years. The melting snowpack will replenish the reservoir.
Talked to our folks in Grand Junction,and they said the Colorado River is raging!! Tons of snow on the mountains yet,fact their supposed to get another 9" next day or so up top.😉
@@timtorkelson7201 thanks for the information.
God(s) central authority leadership, follow Christ words and spirit of eternal life for kingdom of heaven substantive nature
California build desalination plants and stop the damage to the Colorado river
Colorado snowpack cannot unleash anything into the Grand Canyon.........only opening the Lake Powell dam floodgates can do that!
I suggest you learn about what you post.
@@johnperic6860 But that doesn't move sediment. Get educated. This also happens on beaches and underwater structure in the ocean.
There have not been higher temps. Please just stop with the BS>
Honors the environment? Which planet are you talking about?
Not a good time for oblivious rafters camping on the Colorado River beaches.
Can’t they spin some turbines with that release ? Seem like a huge loss of potential energy
Unless there is an immediate need for the added electricity, there is no reason to add to the output of power, electricity can’t be saved unless you have a battery to store it.
The turbines are spinning? Maybe study how hydropower works.
The intent is to simulate a flood, which would exceed the "regulated" flow required to produce regulated energy...I think that's the whole point. We lose potential energy from the sun at much higher rates every day.
Try as "THEY"may,the minds of neither fallen angels nor mortal men will NEVER grasp the wisdom,knowledge nor understanding of the Almighty Lord God..
Yes, but it ain't enuf 2 fill Grand Canyon
They're not trying to fill the canyon, they're just flushing the sediment throughout the river
Don't worry your government is taking care of things....
Simulated flood...... to me it seems as an excuse to release whater somehow, and lower the level.
I don't blame them for wanting to keep water where it belongs. If Arizona & California want to grow crops in the desert it their problem. I wouldn't give em anything beyond what you want to keep behind the dams.
You might want to re-think that the next time you eat a dinner salad or a leaf of lettuce on your Big Mac.
@@Gail-gf7km I wouldn't give it a second thought. There is tons of land in North America that'll grow everything that is grown in the desert & a hell of a lot cheaper
@@armedfarm3429 if that were true it would already be done
@@Gail-gf7km It's trur get over yer self. With out our water you'd be nothing. You are not that far off now. A huge PIA state that sucks money & water from everyone else. No wonder people R leaving in mass numbers!
Finally it gets an enema ! They should give it some help cleaning out those dead tree clogs !
Climate change my bung hole
Is that your evidence against climate change ? If you believe this stunt is some sort of proof we’re not in trouble I encourage you to try harder
Keep up that stupid attitude. Arkansas?
The earth must be kept just like it was before man started changing things. That seems a rather arbitrary selection of a point in time. Why not keep the earth like it was in the year 2,000 BC? You see, man is the problem, they say.
Darn it! I was hoping all the "end of times" ppl was on something.😂😂😂😂😂. Like good book says, beware false prophets. ( Or the one's that THINK they know when time is over) SMDH
The snow pack did not cause the release of water into the Colorado, the person opening the pen-stocks did and the dam authority said it was to renew the beaches in the Grand Canyon. I have rafted the canyon twice and hiked it numerous times camping on the beaches, they don't go away. The release is the fill lake Mead so Los Vegas does not go without water. This is an economic BS story.
So you're ignorant, too.
The beaches in the canyon do erode over time at lower flows; daily water fluctuations carry the sand downstream. The higher surge releases restore the beaches by simulating natural flood events that allow sand and sediment to move downstream and scrub away overgrowth of vegetation in the riparian zone. They have done that periodically over the years; if they didn’t the canyon ecosystem would become increasingly unhealthy.
You sure are arrogant in not knowing WTF you are talking about. A fungus had been developing along the river banks. The release was to flush the fungus. Nevada has never once taken their full allocation of water, so that really shoots a hole in your nonsense.
You're not well informed and it shows with your ignorance in your comment. The water release is usually done in the fall but because of the massive 140% over capacity snows in the Rockies they decided to do two huge releases this year. The snowmelt in the Rockies this past two months provided the BLM the necessary assets to do two releases. Better inform yourself
I wonder how much pollution went through those pipes.
Whatever man touches, he ruins…..
When govt policies have to control everything, they destroy things in 5he process.
Should get rid of those dams on the Colorado river
But but but..... GLOBAL WARMING !!!!!
Yes, because Global Warming means it never snows again. So smart, must be MAGAT.
@@stormottr6059 Funny how you filter your opinions thru the globalist cabal. Enjoy the results of Biden. Libtard
Ya the oceans are boiling as per Al Gore, the planet is drying up he said, it's to warm. Mn just had the first 60 degree day in 181 days. Tell me about the warming planet Gore, you loser.
If you believe in Jesus you know it will all work out you don't know how but trust it will. Love y'all
Rubbish!
Deer 🦌 Jesus, plz fix the water that we ducked up . Amen
Stupid.
This contorted attempt at rationale is the primary reason I never trust anything that comes from a jesus-freaque!!!
Remove Glen Canyon Dam to fix the problem
START BY MOVING PEOPLE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST, CALIFORNIA NEEDS ALL THE WATER FOR CROPS IN THE FUTURE OR AMERICANS WILL NOT EAT
Well her is the facts you don't want people to see. These facts are out there. In 1970 we ate 70% more meat. And it was hard to find a fat person or diabetes. Now you can't find a skinny person and diabetes is running rampant. Our Government and Dr's don't want you to see this. It would ruin the medical pharmaceutical companies. Our Government doesn't want to admit they were wrong with the food pyramid. Everyone would try suing them because it is their fault. Face it if we are eating 70% more agricultural good and 70% less meat. Well it goes and proves we are wasting water on stuff that makes us sick. We won't do hungry without agriculture. We will get skinny and healthier without it.
Yer drunk!
Check facts. Don't rely on fiction. I don't drink. But obviously, you have a lot at stake. But really look into all you want you will find facts.
I can eat less and watch California go away..
Time for Glen Canyon to go away forever.
