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
