Anyone do Lake Powell?
Somebody told me that Lake Mead is almost going dry - I read that
somewhere.
I was at Lake Mead June 14th and the Hoover Dam guide said it's full.


You have been sadly misinformed. Lake Mead's water level is currently at
1141 ft above sea level, which is 88 feet below full pool, or 57% of
capacity. Lake Powell's water level is currently at 3602 feet, which is 98
feet below full pool, or 49% of capacity. That's an awful lot of water
missing, considering the immense size of both reservoirs. Both continue to
be severely stressed due to an over-committed Colorado River and nine years
of regional drought.

I knew I'd seen it somewhere.
