Something HUGE Is Happening at Hoover Dam — Water Levels Are Rising FAST!

Описание: Two weeks ago, the water behind Hoover Dam hit an all-time low. Then Lake Mead turned around and rose 13 days in a row. It's now more than 5 feet above where the official forecast said it would be by the end of November.

The strange part is that most of the flood never reached it. Lake Powell rose more than 20 feet, and Glen Canyon Dam held almost all of that water back. So where is Lake Mead's water coming from? The Paria, the Little Colorado, the Virgin River out of Zion, and the storm drains of Las Vegas and Henderson.

In this video:
• Why the 1,035-foot line matters so much for Hoover's turbines
• How Lake Mead rose while the flood stayed 300 miles upstream
• The release cut almost nobody noticed
• Why Lake Powell rose so fast
• What this means for Las Vegas water and next summer

The margin between Hoover Dam and its danger line nearly doubled in under two weeks. Here's why.
