Description

Lake Powell is at historic lows, and the Colorado River is running out of water. This video explains why America's second-largest reservoir is approaching a critical level and why Glen Canyon Dam could lose its ability to generate electricity by 2027. From the Colorado River Compact to Lake Mead, water cuts, shrinking snowpack, and damaged infrastructure, discover why the crisis is much bigger than Lake Powell—and why 40 million people depend on this system. Thank you for watching: America's Second-Largest Reservoir Is Months From Failure — And the Backup Pipes Are Already Broken #LakePowell #ColoradoRiver #WaterCrisis With great passion for mega constructions I created this channel. With extensive and detailed research as well as impressive video editing, I want to make the most fascinating mega constructions worldwide accessible to you - for all those who are just as enthusiastic about constructions.
