0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Lake Powell, located near Page, Arizona, is a breathtaking reservoir that stretches across the Colorado River, offering stunning red rock landscapes, crystal-clear blue waters, and endless outdoor adventure opportunities. Created by the Glen Canyon Dam, this massive lake boasts over 1,900 miles of shoreline, making it a paradise.

Continued thread

The #ColoradoRiver is shrinking due to #ClimateChange, which means the nation's 2 largest #reservoirs, #LakeMead & #LakePowell, created by #dams, have reached record low levels in recent years amid a #megadrought spanning >2 decades. If #water levels fall much lower, they could lose the ability to generate #hydropower within the massive dams that hold them back, or even lose the ability to pass water downstream.

After reading #DesertSolitaire by #EdwardAbbey & then #MonkeyWrenchGang in '76, we rafted through #Canyonlands in southeastern #Utah. After 8 days of lazily floating under the massive sandstone canyons, we arrived at the confluence of #GreenRiver & #ColoradoRiver & witnessed the immense rapids actively carving the heart of #CataractCanyon. Mind blown & then after the final set of rapids we arrived at a drowned #GlenCanyon 💔 making me a life-long lover of free rivers. 😢 #LakePowell can suck it.

This is a pretty good read by Craig Childs in HCN "Lake Powell, like its downstream neighbor Lake Mead, stands at a quarter of its full capacity. An increasingly arid climate, high demand from thirsty agriculture, and the bad math embedded in the century-old compact that divides the Colorado River’s water have shrunk the two reservoirs to levels not seen since they were first filling." #drought #GlenCanyon #LakePowell #ColoradoRiver #Utah #Arizona #GlenCanyonDam

Giant Mud Glaciers Are on the Move

These advancing mud blobs pose existential threats to the water supply of the Southwest: One day they could form a constipating plug that blocks Glen Canyon, preventing the water from flowing downriver. They could also someday endanger the structural integrity of the dam

RT @SimonettaCheli: The very critic situation of #LakePowell as seen from the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 mission (comparison 2018 vs 2022).
If Lake Powell drops even more, it could soon hit a ‘deadpool’ where water will likely fail to flow through the dam and onto Lake Mead.
