BEHIND THE DROUGHT Part 1: Lake Las Vegas "The Island" Lake Mead Water Level Update August 2022

This was an Incredible bit of journalism.. I too had started my reporting on the water usage and water waste from this community and immediately got return fire from Other Las Vegas Youtube channels trying to discredit my report as to the 1.5 Billion gallons of water purchased prior to the recent rains... I even had Individuals come and seek me out at my place of employment to personally discredit me stating there were NO PIPES under the Lake and that indeed 100% of the water was wash water... I never wanted altercation as i was only following up from the reports from I-Team News but boy did they get triggered..... Thanks for providing This excellent report - Joey (Vegas Dtech)

Shows the audacity and greed of mankind in its attempt to overrule nature. Nature always wins. Professional quality episode. Thanks for your efforts.

This a very good Report, about the waste of Water, in Las Vegas. Maybe you can contact Vegas Dtech and work on a Video, with booth of You, since you booth doing good Report's, about the same Issues. Outstanding Report, thank you for this.

Very educational, thank you very much for this video.

Awesome video highlighting how LLV has changed over the years. Love your videos!

I love this video, well presented, I agree this have 500,000 Views, absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for another superb presentation, MOJO. Being in the UK, I'm always a little late to the party but this fake Lake Las Vegas has certainly triggered my interest. Just earlier today, I read on some Lake Las Vegas blurb site that, "Through clever engineering design, Lake Mead feeds Lake Las Vegas a continuous supply of water." Er, pumping water 400 feet uphill to keep a pond topped up doesn't sound particularly clever to me. I see now why the wash was diverted underneath LLV: they didn't want all that crap sullying their pristine new playground. Dump the shit in Mead and pump up nice clean water for the rich people to wallow in. Right, onto Parts 2 and 3. My main area of interest is Powell but this has been a worthwhile diversion. Keep up these great posts.

this reminds me of the failed palm islands in dubai

This channel deserves WAY more views than this. Good shit. Props on the jeep too. Hard to the vegas heat in one

Very interesting video right there!

You got it absolutely right about greedy, “scorched earth” CA developers. They have been doing the same thing in AZ for years.

Reno and other Nevada (should be Arizona and California as well !) are having people remove lawns and go back to zeriscapes (desert plants) and rock garden lawns - and no irrigation.

Great informative video! I'm assuming you've heard of Vegas DTech? He's talked about Lake Las Vegas in his videos and was harassed at work over it. 😦. He's got some great content too.

great video!

It's been along time but, I recall the lake being filled and maintained by a 20" hole drill to the ground water. I know they said it would be filled by LV runoff water, we knew that was a lie. I think they had to tap into the lake directly, because the well was nolonger sufficient. I recall seeing them drilling the hole.

Excellent video

It just also comes down to CA just doing what is right and use our $109 BILLION in reserves - and start building massive desalination/reverse osmosis water plants along the entire coast and providing CA waters needs - and then there won't be a single problem for the rest of the CO, YY, NV, NM, and AZ peeps. And all of the many Phoenix golf courses and resorts as well - have no excuse for irrigations and water abuse.

Outstanding work MOJO. I am looking forward to the entire series. Liz on another channel lives in LLV. Whatever your mortgage is add another $500+ in community fees.

Most of the green spaces in Lake Las Vegas are being converted in to "desert landscape" like any other masterplanned communities in the Las Vegas valley! Great Video!! I do love Lake Las Vegas!!

Still as of today the only bright sot in all of Lake Las Vegas is the Westin Lake Las Vegas Hotel . Fantastic rooms , 2 nice large pools , water slide , beach rentals , restaurants , lounge , coffee shop , nice spa , and good shopping in the lobby . Check it out this is reality . We remain .
