This is a wild ride @ 1035' all but 4 turbines shut down @ 950' the water to the turbines power the water supply to LA go off The week started at 1038.33 IRCC

So LA is by an ocean and they need water from Nevada? Why dont they have a bunch of desalination plants?

Electricity. Hoover Dam provides power to L.A.

I don't understand why you'd build a hydroelectric damn in such a dry place to start with. Seems like you're asking for trouble there....

Colorado is not dry.

Then why is lake Mead so low?

Because of low rainfall in to Colorado river watershed as a direct result of global warming. Most of the water doesn't make it to the river. In time, the desert will make it's way to Colorado. Long before that, Californians will become your neighbors.

Thought it wasn't dry? Never been, but I'm pretty sure that area is mostly high desert.
