Boosting flow to thirsty Mead

[Mr Jimmy]

I see this AM they're starting to release more water into Mr. Mead.
Won't help Powell one bit. Only made it muddier.
We discuss when Powell can no longer produce power.
When does Mead hit dead pool ?
Is it designed differently ?
Wish everyone the best fishing year with low water everywhere.
They're all in a smaller habitat.

Doesn't look like anything will really happen until they hit dead pool and that will be at the same time. New Mexico and Arizona are pumping ground water like it is a never-ending supply.

Since I left Powell May 29. Ive been through Kanab, plenty of wheel lines watering hay and grass. Plenty of new construction. Stayed several days and night in Moab. Plenty of new construction, .green grass lawns,the rv park o stayed at, watered grass every night and water was all over the gravel and inner roads. Saw plenty of city irrigation with water on sidewalks and roads. Came through Grand Junction, all the golf courses were green and wet. Same with the hay fields around it. Same through Rifle, Silt and Glenwood Springs. Wheel lines watering hay and grass to feed cattle and horses. Glenwood Springs a lot of construction, crazy amount of tourism so just guessing a lot of water is being used. Just like its a never ending supply. Seems like it is when your one of the 4 states that dont have any reduction.
