Lake Powell Could Have Worst Water Year Ever

(Big Water, UT) — Lake Powell is already low, but it’s possible this could be the reservoir’s worst water year ever. That’s according to a new report released yesterday by the National Weather Service’s Colorado Basin River Forecast Center. It says the dry, warm weather in March was a major blow to the water picture. Lake Powell is now projected to get inflows of one-point-four million acre-feet of water this year. That would be 22-percent of normal and the third-lowest on record.
