As Lake Mead Dries Up, Mysteries Are Being Exposed 

Dude, if you think there's underwater mysterious mysteries under lake Mead, imagine what all the of the oceans are hiding underneath them! 🤔 Wow, I didn't expect all these replies and the likes. For those of you who've left comments and whom will, I'll agree with every single 99.100% of you all! 👍

It is interesting how we are affected by the “out of sight out of mind” effect. The way putting things under water keeps them out of our sight and so we stop thinking about them. Yet they’re still there…..

When I was a resident it was genuinely alarming seeing how far the water had gone down in just the ten years I lived there. It’s kind of insane.

Dead bodies, old boats and spray painted walls inside peoples drinking water. But nobody’s actually saying how nasty that is in itself

On a sidenote, I love how the reporter is petting the dog at the end of this.

There’s a city in the middle of a desert. That city needs fresh water to keep its people alive and clean. The population of that city keeps growing. Mega mansion lawns and golf courses need fresh water. Casino outdoor attractions need fresh water. This is only 1 city. Now add more cities and more states. The real fight for water has not started, but it’s coming.

"Dozens... or a hundred may be found." What the heck kind of research did he do to to come up with such an odd amount?

The coolest experience I had as a child was taking a jet ski out to the maximum point you could go close to the dam ( because I can't spell bo-ey) and just sitting there with the engine off and the depth finder would read error. I wonder how deep it is there now?

Should take the time to clean the exposed area and remove junk.

The atmosphere is not sucking water from lake mead it is Arizona ,Nevada,and California that sucking water from a lake that isn t suppose to be there in the first place

Could it be millions more people are using Lake Mead as a water source. Than it was originally designed for

If you live in one of those cities that depends on the lake for water, you may want to consider moving out now when you can actually get something for your house. 10 years from now I think those areas are gonna end up being abandoned because they won’t be in inhabitable without water.

I don't think the turbines are gonna be spinning on their own without water flowing past them.

I mean if it runs out of water it wont be spinning. It doesnt spin on Air too, its Hydro Power not Air power

Ok, I could be wrong, but that lady claims the atmosphere is getting hotter and hotter so all of the water that should be in lakes and reservoirs is going to be suspended in the air. Yes, there is a huge drought going on, but in other parts of the country, there's HUGE flooding going on. The water is just in another place. And if the sea level is allegedly always rising, isn't that capturing this evaporated water? I would imagine that one centimeter of sea level rise would more than empty Lake Mead and Powell combined and then some.

The last time I checked Nevada was a desert and things tend to dry up in a desert 😎

"If the water level drops much lower, the turbines will just be spinning in empty air." Truly mysterious.

I believe the reason we haven't heard of new bodies being found is because no one is looking for them. There was a video stating that people were not allowed to look for bodies on federal property. But if the citizens don't search, will law enforcement do it? I'm sure there has got to be more remains in lake Mead.

You know I actually clicked on RU-vid for rain sounds so I could sleep.

This is not due to "the big city in the desert etc". The fact is that there are mega drought cycles that have taken place for millennia. This is one of them. Geological history shows this. These mega droughts hit this area and last for 75 to 100 years. The sources that feed into Lake Mead have all but dried up. No source water, no lake water replenishment.

It could be a great idea to report what's happening to the Lower Colorado River Basin ecosystems and the environment downstream below Parker Dam' and into the Colorado River Delta. That reporting of barrels and human remains discovered in Mead has become monotonous.

For every 1 vehicle on the road there’s usually only 1 person in that vehicle. Spend a little time observing passing traffic and see with your own eyes. Lots of people water their grass when their state is in a drought and been in a drought for years and there’s no ground water. Governor’s usually issue cutting back on water usage only in the summertime when their states been in a drought for decades and they repeat this process annually. Celebrities drown their lawns with excessive water usage daily.

He was standing in an older structure at one point right? Was that structure always under water originally or was it built before the water was that high and then the water has dropped now again?

Crazy to think that its just a couple of degrees hotter and it is literally decimating 150ft worth of water in the reservoir

This is more than enough for a NETFLIX SERIES at this point

It's kind of crazy that's when you look at the lake, you can now see the boarder from water too land in the frame at 2:02 you can clearly see where the water level once was.

This was one of the driest monsoon season ive seen in AZ

Grew up in Vegas, graduated Bonanza highschool in 1991. At our 30th we gathered at the cliffs we would party at and dive from in highschool. Now you would need st scale down the side of the cliff and walk miles to ever get close to water.

When the last tree has been cut, the last fish caught and the rivers poisoned. Only then will man realize you can’t eat money.

A man made lake in the dessert is drying up, you dont say?

missing/decomposing bodies, rusting boats and people are drinking that water

"The atmosphere is sucking the landscape dry." If that were happening, an ENORMOUS amount of water would be sucked up from the oceans and come raining back down, forming many more lakes!

What a time to be alive 🤯

It’s not climate change drying up Lake Mead. It’s the greater demand of water by a ever growing population. Lake Mead is the only major lake/reservoir affected in the United States.

How can anyone unequivocally say, this is solely a climate change issue?

Is there a website or a blog of all the things found at Lake Mead?

Great opportunity to recycle the exposed metal and keep the water from becoming more metallic in the future.

Imagine a place where it's hot and dry having a drought...crazy! Who woulda thought?

Lester Holt is awesome on top of that he's a great Bass-Guitar player 🎸🎸👍

Lake Mead is not DRYING UP. It’s being drained to water lawns and fill pools.

Imagine if the Mediterranean Sea dried up. All the stuff we would find.

The biggest mystery, who'd be dumb enough to allow unchecked population growth and farming to drain the lake faster than it fills?

I drove by today. Place looks unrecognizable from 3 years ago the last time I was here

There's this one guy I believe who's covering this story for about a good two months. I think it is about lake mead.

the way I've been seeing storys about this on RU-vid for the past few months make me think there gonna find a UFO next lol

There is no life without water.

People don’t realize big water shortages can destroy this planet and make it unsustainable for human life.

Imagine you've send a person some 20 years ago for a walk with concrete shoes down to Lake Meade and now this is happening. Nothing is safe anymore.

Yeah, Bugsy Seigle thought he was safe 4ever. Shows how smart he was.

Lake Mead up 3 feet. That a plus to some degree!!

Now if only Loch Ness could dry up to reveal the monster :9

All it would take is to construct multiple dehumidifier theres tons of moisture in the air even if you dont think there is to save on water i filled up my 4 foot pool with purified dehumidifier water so i know it will work

everything's fine we're just running out of water. It's not like we can't grow some more.

put cities in the middle of the desert then complain no rain. nature is doing what it suppose to do in the desert stay dry. where is logic .

Drain any huge body of water imagine what you'll find.

Is there are ways to make the water rise you can add Condensation maker, You could also make sure that the area is that gets snow rise those area is up so you can get more snow.

We drink out of this dirty water? With dead body's being uncovered and sunken boat's let alone nasty people swim in it 🥴

THIS is actually happening all over the world right now

You can't blame "climate change" for taking back a man-made lake in the middle of the desert. This would be a good opportunity to restore the Colorado River to its original flow, and let Nevada be the desert it is.

Please becareful in winter guys it doesn't mean less rain just means more extremes in the periods

I'm almost 70 years old I remember seeing floods when I was a kid I just knew that I got older people would move water from one place to another have canals and leave ways that would take water away from places that had too much and put it to places that did I had no idea that man in America were so f****** lazy the rooms were able to move water but we can't seem to do s***

Before i blame climate change i have to know how many people were drinking that same reservoir 20 years ago. Was it the same amount?(25million) less? These things do come into play.

The dog was the best part.

What a beautiful sight, nice to see nature reclaim itself.

0:36 LOL Did this reporter try too hard to sound smart/articulate? Without water pushing the turbines, how do the turbines spin (air)?

Climate change or cycle and whoever thought building cities in a desert was a good idea

Damm imagine having a good ol time during summer at the lake and 100s of dead people just underneath the water

Imagine what every ocean is hiding

What’s the ppm allowance for corpses in drinking water anybody know?

I’d love to see this happen to lake Lanier in Georgia! It’s a whole under water city and it has to have some serious mysteries in it!

Wow, I knew lake meat was not as high as usual but wasn't expecting it to be that low.

Just imagine what the ocean is hiding 🤔

It’s kinda crazy that a lake would be drying up in a desert right? Like wow can’t believe it

"And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV) Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV) By God's GRACE ✝️, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely.

The air is getting thirstier? I can just hear my weather teacher going off on this idiotic statement 😂

I read the title as "As lake meat dries up, mysteries are being exposed"

Too bad this news story didn’t actually show some of those mysteries or things

I have to agree with comments that said if they're not allowing individuals to look for remains of loved ones, are they going to do it?

Wow you're lake is drying, while here in our country it always rain a lot

Droughts have happened in the past, you know? The problem with the Colorado River Basin was the presumption that the water would continue to flow at an inflated rate for all eternity when, in reality, water flow is never constant. The western states are experiencing a drought, but the east coast has seen plenty of rain; sometimes too much rain. It seems that this is a regionalized issue brought on by faulty assumptions and general shifts in the cycle of the environment rather than one caused by “global warming.”

Listen. Its obviously not that big of a deal. In a few years millions of people will be out of drinking water and rich people will still water their golf courses. Its just the natural order of things

It's a matter of time before it's empty. Also this is not climate issue it's a political issue and passing the buck.

"When lake meads dry,new mysteries are uncovered." Me : Another dead body.

And yet the real estate market is crazy in all the desert states. May be I don’t know something they do.

They must re-green these areas to capture water as in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Very cheap and easy to do, but there must be action NOW.

My friends this is going to get a lot worse in many of our life times! Its time to wrap our heads around this serious matter and start to fix the situation, we cannot leave a mess for our kids!

Interesting that the gov has an opportunity to get rid of the trashed sunken boats and clean it up, but nope. Not even on the radar.

Supposed to be an alien spaceship parked somewhere around the lake

Thank you NBC news. I am SOOO FASCINATED by all of these dead bodies that keep popping up. Please continue to follow.

The issue is all of the agriculture drinking 80% of the water. We need to move food production out of the desert

Here's an idea, maybe don't live in a desert and assume it's few lakes will always have water. Wow, what a crazy idea!

I know the lake drying up is a bad thing but finding all the bodies is closer for the families so that's a good thing

Everything done in the dark will soon come to the light

Lake Powell should drain into Lake Mead as Lake Powell is mud and Lake Mead is stone at the floor...so less waste.

Fun fact: Since last year, there have been huge disputes over allotment of water by lake mead. LA city is allowed the largest allotment of water from this lake. Considering the rate of which this is going down, The whole southwest is about to turn into Mad Max in the next decade

Imagine the sands of Egypt just disappeared. The secrets.

0:36 If the water level drops lower the turbines won’t spin at all because it is the water that makes them spin.

God is telling us something… we better get it together…

This is deliberate!!

All I can think about is that little guy on the movie casino 🤣
