Welcome back Colorado River Watchers! As we close out the 2023 water year, we’ll look at where our major reservoir levels have settled in preparation for the coming spring, and a possible "Super El Niño". In our news stories today, we’re going to continue looking into some water quality issues found around Lake Mead and share why the park has decided to not accept cash anymore!

We'd like to thank you River Watchers for the continued comments, ideas, and corrections. We are independent creators who are completely viewer supported and motivated. If you enjoy our updates, please consider checking out the merch page and grabbing an adventure tee or some artwork to help us continue! 👉 mojoearthworks.etsy.com/

  • @rabscots910
    So many poorly detailed "lake mead update" channels out there. This is great !! Thank you.
  • @Pinkielover
    National and state park should be 100% free no charge.. we pay enough tax.
  • @BIGJATPSU
    THE key date will be April 4th 2024. If the Snow Water Equivalent is at or slightly above 15.58 most of the gains will be able to be held. If it's slightly above, say 10% or so, we could possibly see a slight rise. If El Nino gifts us with another 140-150% of total, we could see an even more amazing rise than this past year! Let's not talk about anything negative, think positive about snow, wish for Colorado to get 100 feet of it! 😅😅
  • @johnnybgoode6466
    A tragic loss of lives just due to having a swim in the warm water....... fingers crossed you get more rain and snow going forward now. I'm just hoping for warm, dry , summer here in New Zealand. Keep the updates coming !
  • @RT-js4tz
    Cashless does disenfranchise nomad lifestylers, those who dont wish to be tracked or recorded, and low income people. I agree with the commenter below, it should be free.
  • @scott729
    Love your updates. Headed to LV in mid-January and plan to spend a day at the dam and lake!
  • @abandonbelief
    Ash Springs, NV was the first time I've ever heard of Amoebas eating brains of people, killing them. Lake Havasu a decade later.
  • @dbod4866
    Nothing like a little brain eating ameba to ruin your weekend.
  • @user-nq1mk8ec8z
    You should include a graph of total water stored in the colorado basin since there are a total of 15 dams on the colorado river.
  • @j.l.salayao8055
    I have been swimming(deep diving, and surface swim) in all areas of Lake mead for the past five years(and counting) as I am a full-time rv'r/nomad and a part time volunteer for public land. My dogs and I frequent the water specially in the summer time and have been safe. Of course, I drink my beer and anti-biotic every now and then and no worries of such danger than those two legged "manimal" who means me harm. I won't let this little fear from doing the things I love and enjoy my everyday life. Many people die everyday through out the world just for driving their vehicle but millions are still driving their cars everyday near or far(wherever you are). Howdy, from the Nevada Desert!🤠
  • @tzadik36
    Thank you for this video. Naegleria fowleri is one of that handful of rare but uniformly fatal infestations/infections. Quite a horrible way to go but rare enough that the average physician (not an infectious disease specialist, neurologist, et cetera) will not see one in a career lifetime. The water levels seem encouraging, but we could perhaps use a water-ice comet the size of a mars' moon.

    If they're that disenfranchised how can they take a vacation. Most people can find free checking and get a debit card.
