Podcasts about Lake Mead

Negotiators representing seven states, 30 tribes, and Mexico are running out of time to agree on new rules to guide sharing of Colorado River water before a federally mandated deadline next fall. Failure to do so would forfeit water allocation authority to the Bureau of Reclamation, and costly state and tribal litigation would be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court.  Potable water supply for much of the West is not all that's at stake in managing demands on the river's supply. “Deadpool” levels in the reservoirs at Lake Powell and Lake Mead would result in inability of the Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams to generate hydropower. The establishment of new post-2026 operating guidelines among the river's competing stakeholders is a complex undertaking, consuming much of the region's attention and effort.  However, an analysis published last week by six leading scholars in the basin warns that immediate, substantial action to conserve water is needed. Their study suggests that if the coming year's patterns of water supply and use mirror past years, then by the time any hard-won new guidelines are in place, the basin may already be in serious trouble.  In this episode, study author Kathryn Sorensen and water policy expert Sarah Porter provide perspectives on the near-term science, human behavior, and potential solutions relating to conditions around the Colorado River.  Relevant articles and resources  “Analysis of Colorado River Basin Storage Suggests Need for Immediate Action” (Jack Schmidt, Anne Castle, John Fleck, Eric Kuhn, Kathryn Sorensen, Kathrine Tara, September 2025) “As the Colorado River slowly dries up, states angle for influence over future water rights” (The Conversation, August 2025)  “Inside the ‘revolutionary' new Colorado River proposal” (E&E News by Politico, July 2025)Colorado River Shortage: What This Means for Arizona & What Comes Next (Arizona Water Blueprint)  “The Colorado River needs some ‘shared pain' to break a deadlock, water experts say” (KUNC, May 2025)  “Floating Pools & Grand Bargains” (Kyl Center for Water Policy at Morrison Institute, April 2025)   Relevant Ten Across Conversations podcasts  Checking in on Tense Colorado River Negotiations with Anne Castle and John Fleck  Understanding Groundwater Risks in the Southwest with Jay Famiglietti  Experts Share Insights on the Ongoing Colorado River Negotiations  Why Everyone Should Care About the Colorado River with Rhett Larson  Getting Honest About the Colorado River Crisis with Anne Castle & John Fleck  The Future of Water is Here: Are We Ready?  CreditsHost: Duke ReiterProducer and editor: Taylor GriffithMusic by: Johan Glössner and Daniel GunnarssonResearch and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich, and Sabine Butler  About our guestsSarah Porter is the director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University's Morrison Institute for Public Policy, and professor of practice in ASU's College of Global Futures.

Western states have pumped a Lake Mead's worth of groundwater in recent years. What does that mean for those relying on the shrinking Colorado River?

Runoff in the Colorado River is expected to be 55 percent of normal this year which means Lake Mead water levels will drop. Lake levels and inflows to the lake can impact our drinking water supply. Limnologists Todd Tietjen and Deena Hannoun share how their research helps protect our drinking water, and how their studies help other Colorado River Basin water agencies on this episode of the Water Smarts Podcast. Hosts: Bronson Mack and Crystal Zuelkehttps://www.snwa.com/https://www.snwa.com/

In this episode of the Workforce Connections podcast, Debra March joins the conversation to reflect on her dynamic career and ongoing contributions to Southern Nevada. Debra shares her unique path from growing up in Detroit and graduating from an all-girls Catholic high school to becoming Nevada's first female park ranger, then working as a social worker, real estate regulator, and economic development leader. These diverse roles prepared her to serve as Mayor of Henderson, where she led transformative projects including revitalizing Water Street, new recreational and sports facilities, and key economic initiatives like the Raiders headquarters and Haas Automation expansion.Today, Debra continues to make an impact as Chair of the Urban Land Institute of Nevada, where she leads monthly programs focused on placemaking and sustainable growth. She also consults on regional planning initiatives like Southern Nevada Strong, serves on the board of Boys Town Nevada, and supports community events such as the Raiders' Black & Silver Gala.Outside of her professional work, Debra enjoys cycling, hiking, and kayaking at Lake Mead, and recently took up pickleball with friends. Her advice to young people and future leaders? “Stay curious, keep learning, and don't underestimate what you're capable of, even if your path doesn't look traditional.” She believes deeply in the value of lived experience, encourages others to get involved in their communities, and says yes to opportunities that stretch them.Urban Land Institute of NevadaHome | Urban Land InstituteBoys Town NevadaNevada | Boys Town NevadaSouthern Nevada StrongSouthern Nevada Strong

In May 1981, 18-year-old Jamey Walker vanished after returning home from a date. A day later, her body was found under a bridge near Lake Mead. Though police had a suspect early on, it would take over 30 years to bring him to justice.

Another summer, another Lake Mead update: And this year, it's not looking great. Our snowpack gains this winter were pretty dismal, and the National Weather Service recently even lowered their projections for Lake Powell, whose upstream levels affect Lake Mead's. In light of all this, we're bringing back a conversation that co-host Dayvid Figler had with UNLV hydrology professor David Kreamer. The creation of Lake Mead was not without its costs — so was it worth it? And what happens if we use Lake Mead up?

Send us a textWelcome to another high-energy episode where the crew picks up right where they left off – with Superman making his triumphant return after missing a couple of episodes. His absence was for good reason: both his daughters were graduating – one becoming a nurse anesthetist and the other earning what amounted to a master's degree in information technology. The pride in his voice is unmistakable as he shares how his daughters have academically surpassed him, earning golf claps from the whole crew.The episode takes an entertaining turn as we play "Name That Cop Show," a game revealing IMDb's top-ranked police shows of all time. From The Wire to Dragnet, the hosts battle to name the most iconic cop shows while expressing shock at some glaring omissions. Where's Police Academy? How did Reno 911 not make the cut? The resulting debate showcases everyone's passionate opinions about what truly defines great TV cop drama.Things get delightfully chaotic when we dive into horror movies, particularly slashers. The recently released "Clowns in the Cornfield" sparks a hilarious discussion about why clowns are supposedly scary and the questionable logic of horror movie victims. "Why are you running away? I'd try to kill you back," one host declares, questioning why characters never band together against a single killer. This leads to an unexpected tangent about fears – particularly of deep water. Several hosts admit they avoid lakes and oceans, citing the dangers of places like Lake Mead and the Great Lakes, with their shocking death statistics.Whether you're a TV crime drama enthusiast, a horror movie buff, or someone who shares our irrational fears, this episode delivers laughs, nostalgia, and surprising revelations. Join us for the ride – just don't expect us to venture past our ankles in any natural body of water.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Can life's storms actually be blessings in disguise? Join me as we unravel this intriguing concept by diving into the heart of Matthew 14, where Jesus displays compassion amidst profound personal grief. This episode originally aired in April 2024. We explore how life's unpredictable challenges can reveal divine power and encourage steadfast faith. Through personal stories and biblical reflections, we uncover the importance of seeking God's presence even when the path seems unclear, and how maintaining faith can transform trials into profound spiritual growth opportunities. You'll hear about my own eye-opening experience during a sudden storm on Lake Mead, where parallels with Peter's moment of doubt offer lessons in trust and security. By examining the incredible story of Jesus walking on water and Peter's faith journey, we highlight how fear and doubt can make us sink, but keeping our eyes on Jesus can lead us to do the impossible. We delve into the miraculous acts of Jesus and how faith and obedience can help us overcome life's storms, encouraging listeners to embrace their faith boldly. As we navigate societal challenges like economic instability, we draw on insights from biblical scriptures and my book to offer practical guidance on finding strength and assurance in faith over material wealth. Even when storms are daunting, there is a divine power that supports us, as illustrated in Peter's call for help and Jesus' immediate response. Together, we reflect on how our trials are not just obstacles to overcome but are crucial steps in our spiritual journey, urging us to embrace them as opportunities for growth and deeper understanding of our God-given mission.

The story of a missing veterinarian at Lake Mead took even more twists and turns this week when it was revealed that he'd been caught on video kicking a horse in the head. But does his long apology, posted shortly afterward, explain another side to the story? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman discuss the saga with TheList.Vegas creator Andrew Kiraly. They also talk about recent reporting from the Review-Journal that revealed Clark County's largest homeowner is a New York hedge fund, and an odd little press release claiming Las Vegas is the second "coolest" city in the country — and why it's got us feeling weirdly defensive.

In this episode of 21st Century Water, we sit down with John J. Entsminger, General Manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) and the Las Vegas Valley Water District. John oversees the water supply for 2.5 million residents and 40 million visitors annually in one of the most water-stressed regions of the United States. He shares his journey from environmental law to leading a major water utility and highlights the pivotal moments that shaped his approach to water management, including the 2002 Colorado River drought and the 2007-2009 recession.John explains the vast scale of SNWA's infrastructure, from its 250 miles of massive pipelines to the 7,000 miles of distribution lines in the Las Vegas Valley Water District. With climate change and cybersecurity as the biggest challenges facing water utilities, he emphasizes how SNWA has aggressively tackled conservation. Through innovative measures like removing non-functional turf, enforcing watering schedules, and deploying water enforcement officers, Southern Nevada has added 800,000 people since 2002 while reducing total water consumption by 35-40%.We discuss the importance of strategic investments, including a $1.5 billion low-lake-level pumping station at Lake Mead, designed purely for redundancy to secure supply. John also shares insights into international and interstate water negotiations, where he has played a key role in agreements involving the seven Colorado River Basin states and Mexico. He highlights the delicate balance of ensuring every party “loses” just enough to reach a compromise that sustains long-term water management.A key advantage for Las Vegas is its ability to recycle nearly 100% of indoor water use. Thanks to its unique geography, all wastewater is treated and returned to Lake Mead, allowing for legal return flow credits. The city's only significant water losses come from outdoor irrigation, evaporative cooling, and septic systems, which SNWA is actively addressing. John also discusses their use of innovative leak detection technology, AI-powered predictive maintenance, and automated metering to enhance efficiency.One remarkable case study is how SNWA worked with Formula 1 to make the Las Vegas Grand Prix the first net-positive water race in history. By offsetting race-related water use with an atmospheric water generator installed at MGM, the event saved more water than it consumed. John sees AI playing an increasing role in optimizing pipeline maintenance and customer leak detection, making conservation even more effective.Another is the building 54 weirs, which are erosion-controlled structures to slow down the water. And over the last 20 years, the number one source of materials for those weirs is imploded old casinos.As we wrap up, John reflects on his legacy, emphasizing pragmatism and the importance of speaking truth to power. His leadership has positioned Southern Nevada as a global model for water conservation and resilience, proving that even in the face of extreme scarcity, strategic planning and innovation can secure a sustainable water future.More: Las Vegas Valley Water District: https://www.lvvwd.com/Southern Nevada Water Authority: https://www.snwa.com/ Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

Researchers have long known there was some kind of aquifer in the Cascade Mountains that feeds rivers like the McKenzie and the Deschutes. But they never knew just how big it might be — until now, that is. A new study found that the Central Oregon aquifer holds 80 cubic kilometers of water, roughly three times the size of Nevada’s Lake Mead. Leif Karlstrom is an associate professor of earth sciences at the University of Oregon. He led the study and joins us with more details on what the discovery could mean for the region — and why we shouldn’t view it as a water windfall

The second-largest reservoir in the United States is called Lake Powell on the Colorado River. It has not been filled since 1999, and in 2022 reached a record low of about 23 percent full--nearly the point of "dead pool," where the lake would be below the outlet pipes. The reason is that with climate change and reservoir overcapacity (the largest reservoir of all, Lake Mead, is downstream of Powell), there is too much storage on the river relative to demand for agriculture, cities, and water lost from reservoir evaporation. What to do? Science writer Zak Podmore examines the question in his book Life After Dead Pool: Lake Powell's Last Days and the Rebirth of the Colorado River, where he argues it's time to drain the lake, save a lot of water, and restore the wondrous beauty of flooded Glen Canyon. Zak and University of Utah economist Marshall Steinbaum join us to talk about the political economy behind the construction of Glen Canyon Dam, how environmentalists went wrong attacking it with conservative arguments, and how the Colorado can be better managed as a resource for both people and nature.

About the Guest: Kyle Roerink is the Executive Director of the Great Basin Water Network. Roerink has been a pivotal figure in advocating for sustainable water management across the Great Basin and the Colorado Plateau. His organization has played a significant role in addressing critical issues related to water rights, environmental protection, and the ecological impact of industry and urban development in the arid Southwest. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of "90 Miles from Needles," Chris Clarke speaks with Kyle Roerink, Executive Director of the Great Basin Water Network, about the ongoing battles and emerging concerns regarding water rights and environmental conservation in the arid regions of the Great Basin and the Colorado River Basin. The conversation kicks off with a light-hearted discussion about an unusual statement from the former president regarding a mythical "faucet" to solve water issues in California, setting an intriguing tone about broader misconceptions and real challenges. The episode delves deep into current projects and proposals that threaten the water security and ecological balance in the regions. Roerink highlights the pressing issues surrounding lithium mining in Green River, Utah, and its potential environmental impact. The conversation explores the novel direct lithium extraction technology and the legal precedents it may set, impacting future mining projects in the area. The discussion also touches on the alarming number of proposed new dams and diversions in the Upper Colorado River Basin and the implications for downstream water rights and ecological health. Key Takeaways: Direct Lithium Extraction and Environmental Concerns: The controversial lithium mining project in Green River, Utah, utilizing direct lithium extraction technology, poses several environmental risks and legal challenges, particularly concerning groundwater rights and public welfare. Over-Allocation of Colorado River Water: The ongoing issues of water over-allocation on paper versus actual availability, exacerbated by climate change and decreasing water flows, put immense pressure on water management across the Colorado River Basin. Ecological and Legal Implications of New Dams and Diversions: The numerous proposed dam and diversion projects in the Upper Colorado River Basin underscore the need for rigorous scrutiny and sustainable planning to prevent exacerbating water shortages and ecological damage. Glen Canyon Dam and Long-term Water Management: Discussion on the feasibility and future of maintaining both Lake Mead and Lake Powell reservoirs, with a growing consensus favoring prioritizing Lake Mead due to infrastructural and water delivery benefits. Community and Environmental Advocacy: Highlighting the importance of grassroots advocacy, collaboration among diverse stakeholders, and the significant role of public knowledge and engagement in addressing the complex water issues in the arid Southwest. Notable Quotes: Kyle Roerink: "We can only do the green energy transition once. There's no room for error, there's no margin for error." Chris Clarke: "There's a whole lot of money that you can make in destroying the desert, but not too much in saving it." Kyle Roerink: "Mother Nature is the best teacher." Kyle Roerink: "I think, like post federal lands Policy and Management act, that post Flitma era and push that really bolstered the environmental movement." Kyle Roerink: "If we're to believe the nation's best scientists, the worst is yet to come."

A former Playboy and Maxim model, Kelsey Turner, 31, is currently serving a 10 to 25-year sentence in a Nevada state prison for her involvement in the death of 71-year-old Dr. Thomas Burchard, a prominent child psychiatrist whose body was discovered in the trunk of her car near Las Vegas. Turner, who had a tumultuous relationship with Burchard, [BURR-chard] was described as the driving force behind the tragic events that led to the doctor's death. Burchard, who had been financially supporting Turner, was killed following a heated argument. Clark County prosecutors revealed that Turner and her then-boyfriend, Jon Logan Kennison, 32, brutally beat the doctor to death before leaving his body in the trunk of Turner's car on the outskirts of Lake Mead. Kennison, who played a significant role in the killing, previously pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 18 to 45 years in prison. Diana Nicole Peña, a former roommate of the couple, was initially charged with murder but later pleaded guilty to accessory to murder, insisting she was not involved in the actual killing. Peña became a key witness in the case, providing chilling details of the crime and its aftermath. In a re-aired episode of ABC's "20/20," Peña recounted the terrifying moments leading up to Burchard's death. She described how Turner became enraged after discovering photos and messages on Burchard's phone, which led to the fatal altercation. Peña recalled witnessing Kennison raise a bat, although she did not see him strike the doctor. She suggested that Turner encouraged the violence, a theory supported by prosecutors. Peña also shared how she urged the couple to take the injured doctor to the hospital, but instead, he was left to die. According to Peña, Burchard, sensing his imminent demise, asked for his jacket and confided, "They're going to kill me." Burchard's tragic end was further compounded by the discovery of his body days later, stuffed inside the trunk of Turner's blue Mercedes-Benz C300. The car, abandoned on Nevada State Route 147, was reported by a passerby who noticed it parked alone with a broken window. Burchard was well-known for his work as a child psychiatrist, often entertaining his patients with magic tricks. He had a history of financially supporting women he met online, a habit that ultimately led to his downfall. His longtime girlfriend, Judy Earp, revealed that Burchard had spent nearly $300,000 on Turner over several years and described her as "as evil as Charles Manson." Turner entered an Alford plea in November 2022, accepting the sentence for second-degree murder while maintaining her innocence. The plea deal ensures she will be eligible for parole after serving a minimum of 10 years. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On Thursday, the federal government came out with its annual Colorado River water cuts: To maintain levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell, Arizona will lose 18% of its allocation, California will lose 7%, Nevada will lose 7%, and Mexico will lose 5%. We're on a water diet, y'all! But how will this affect Las Vegas? Why are the headlines so confusing, and how worried should we actually be? Co-host Dayvid Figler gets the real deal from environmental reporter Daniel Rothberg. Want to get in touch? Follow us @CityCastVegas on Instagram, or email us at lasvegas@citycast.fm.

No one would describe Vegas as a green place, but you might notice the city looking even more desert-y than usual thanks to AB356. This bill from the 2021 legislative session tackles our low levels in Lake Mead by prohibiting the use of Colorado River water on “nonfunctional turf” in public spaces by 2027. So what public grass will disappear and how will this affect our water shortage as Vegas gets hotter and more crowded? Today, we're revisiting a conversation with co-host Dayvid Figler and JC Davis from the Southern Nevada Water Authority to talk about what exactly “nonfunctional turf” is and why JC thinks AB356 is critical for the future of Las Vegas.

Mike DeHoff is the Principal Investigator at Returning Rapids Project, a one-of-a-kind project that is documenting the recovery of the Colorado River in Cataract Canyon, upper Glen Canyon, and along the San Juan. Back in 1963, the construction of Glen Canyon Dam created Lake Powell, which submerged many of the area's canyons– turning what were once wild stretches of the Colorado into flat water. Today, the southwest's ongoing historic drought has caused Lake Powell's water levels to drop significantly, revealing historic rapids, recently hidden geologic features, and riparian ecosystems that had been deep underwater for nearly fifty years. - Returning Rapids began as a personal project for Mike and three of his river-loving friends– Meg Flynn, Peter Lefebvre, and Chris Benson. They began to notice changes in the river created by Lake Powell's receding waters and started documenting those changes and using historic photographs and documents to better understand the reemerging landscape. Over the years, their work caught the attention of universities, academics, scientists, and government agencies, all of whom were fascinated by what was being discovered deep in those canyons. Fast forward to today, and their work is not only enabling cutting-edge research, but it's capturing the attention of bigtime media outlets, including a recent feature in Rolling Stone. - Mike connected with me virtually from his home base in Moab, Utah, and we had a fascinating discussion about the Colorado River, Lake Powell, and the history of the Returning Rapids project. We started out with a brief history lesson on the drought's effect on the Colorado River, then we dug into issues such as the mind-blowing amount of sediment created by Glen Canyon Dam. We discussed when Mike and his partners realized that their personal project was capturing the attention of the public, the challenges of garnering attention for lesser-known places like Cataract Canyon, and the idea of combining Lake Powell and Lake Mead. We also talk a lot about Mike's personal journey with this project, and how his willingness to follow his curiosity, partner with very smart people, take risks, and work extremely hard has had a significant scientific impact. We also discuss books, his mentors, his desire to learn from everyone he meets, and much more. - A huge thanks to Mike, Meg, Peter, and Chris for their important work, and for providing such a solid example for all of us who feel drawn to make a difference here in the American West. --- Returning Rapids Project Rolling Stone article on Returning Rapids Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/mike-dehoff/ --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Mighty Arrow Family Foundation.
