Lake Powell, currently 23% full, is at its lowest level on record for July, and, based on current rates of decline, could reach its all-time record low sometime next month. Lake Mead is 27% full and less than a foot from its all-time record low, set in July 2022. #ColoradoRiver #drought #ClimateChange https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/22/climate/lake-mead-powell-record-low-water-colorado-river-drought

Lake Powell, Mead drop to historic low, signaling major water crisis An unprecedented low in combined storage in Lake Powell and Lake Mead has broken the previous record low set in 2023, according to a report from the Center for Colorado River Studies at Utah State University. Both Lake Powell and Lake Mead were extremely low as of July 12, with a combined storage of about 12.67 million acre-feet. The last time the combined storage of these reservoirs was this low was in 1957, during construction of Glen Canyon Dam. #drought #LakePowell #LakeMead #ColoradoRiver #water https://www.abc4.com/news/local-news/colorado-river-basin-crisis/?mc_cid=89bf720e14&mc_eid=09d267fb36

Der mächtige #ColoradoRiver, der den Grand Canyon geschaffen hat, ist in großen Schwierigkeiten. Der lange überstrapazierte Fluss, eine wichtige Wasserquelle für Millionen von Menschen in Kalifornien und sechs anderen Bundesstaaten, ist seit 2000 aufgrund einer #Megadürre im Westen der USA, von der Wissenschaftler sagen, dass sie wahrscheinlich die schwerste seit 1.200 Jahren war, dramatisch geschrumpft. Die Bedingungen werden durch den #Klimawandel nur noch verschärft https://www.latimes.com/california/newsletter/2026-07-01/colorado-river-crisis

Colorado River in Marble Canyon Kaibab National Forest, AZ [tall photo] No, not the Grand Canyon, but just upstream from there. Great views at the end of a long dusty road. #photo #landscape #canyon #ColoradoRiver #PublicLands #Arizona
