Lake Powell water levels are up
Aug. 13
Lake Powell is at its highest level in over three years, even though the 2024 runoff will be below average.
The lake is now 42% full, which is nearly 20% higher than it was last spring. It is now out of danger of falling so low that it would hit a dead pool and be unable to generate electricity at Glen Canyon Dam.
Dr. Kathryn Sorensen, Director of Research at ASU’s Kyl Center for Water Policy, joined “Arizona Horizon” to talk about how the levels are higher than they’ve been and if it will stay that way.
