Glen Canyon National Recreation Area continues to respond to low water conditions on Lake Powell. This week’s low water update includes:
- Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) 24-Month Study: BOR released its January 24-Month Study, which shows how a snowy December in the Colorado River Basin helped boost projections for most of the basin’s reservoirs. It’s important to note, future hydrology remains highly uncertain and variable: above normal precipitation in October, record low in November, high snowpack in December, and January now off to a dry start.
