The goal should be to conserve & use water that's available by year. Selfishness
Has become the ruler. States need to get together and responsibly use the water available, not fight and bicker over it like 3 year old children.

It is going to take several years of winters like this to fill Powell.

Maybe if they didn’t drain a bunch of it into Lake Mead.

Lake Mead saw its first negative since the start of runoff yesterday.

I don’t think lake mead has risen as much as lake Powell

flying over the GSL yesterday and amazed at how much of it is dry sand.

GSL is currently 3 feet below average and 6 feet below the high. It's a shallow

Does it need to be full? Is that the goal?

Ideally that's the reason why we build a dam, right? To have full water storage.

Is it? I always thought it was to hold it until it's needed elsewhere. If it's

Lake Powell is the reserve which allows the upper states to use water.

So, if its full then the upper states don't need the water and the lower states
SUAVO

No, if it full you have a reserve for the future as well as the present.

Yes, but that means nobody needs the water.

They could fill it up if they didn’t let so much out. So that’s why I asked.

The priority is complying with the law on water rights- on average 7.5 million acre feet have to flow out of Powell

Add to that the fact that the western U.S. region has had a fluctuating climate

Nuclear power and Nuclear powered desalination is the way California needs to get its power and water.

Not even CA has that kind of money
Nat Gas Man

It's not that expensive, and they could charge the market rate for water to pay
TailgateU
6/6/23 11:27am
Most of the cost of nuclear power

Colorado needs more winters like Utah had.

Not to mention how low aquifers are. This is a great start, but water concerns are hardly over.

It could just as easily be a fluke year and back to drought
Nat Gas Man

I'm going to wager that it was definitely a fluke year

cutting back on usage from CO River will help. I think AZ, CO, CA have agreed to
Avery

I thought that was only a temporary cutback
SUAVO

I didn’t think CA agreed

How about we celebrate the water year through the end of the runoff before we go
