Lake Powell forecast to receive 13% of its usual flows, new report shows

Lake Powell helps pace the flow of water to millions of people. It currently holds 23% of its capacity, and the low inflows won't help.

Now THAT'S a challenge.

But the billionaires disagree and everyone knows they get to call the shots even though there are way more of us than them.....

That doesn't help.

And do we really need so many golf courses?

Feels weird to praise a city of excess but apparently they are AWESOME with water management

The federal government shouldn't subsidize relocation to places that will be uninhabitable in a few decades.

What Mother Nature giveth, Mother Nature takes away.

I am glad I don't live in the US Southwest.

The water flow may drop too low to generate power by August.

Does that include the water they are robbing from Flaming Gorge?
