Landlocked on Purpose
In the fall of 1922, Aldo Leopold and his brother Carl paddled a canoe into the delta of the Colorado River and found a wilderness of green lagoons, a hundred channels braiding through two million acres of cottonwood and willow, egrets standing in the shallows, deer in the cane, and somewhere beyond the firelight the jaguar they never saw and never stopped feeling. Leopold wrote about that trip a quarter century later and confessed that he never went back. He preferred the delta as memory held it, because he understood what was coming for it. He was right to stay away. In November of that same year, in a lodge outside Santa Fe, commissioners from seven states signed the Colorado River Compact and divided the river on paper. The canoe and the signature belong in the same paragraph because one of them canceled the other. […] -

#LakeMead is now less than 4 feet (1.2 meters) from 1035 feet, at which point 12 of the 17 power generators will go offline, reducing Hoover Dam's electricity production by roughly 70 percent.

Trump admin finalizes a short-term Colorado River plan. Here’s what it means for Lake Powell.
The Trump administration won’t force Utah and other Upper Basin states to cut their Colorado River water use over the next two years, but Lower Basin states like California will collectively slash their consumption by over 1 million acre-feet per year for the next two years.

The reservoir’s levels dropped to 3519.91 feet on Saturday, breaking the record low of 3,519.92 feet set in April 2023, acc/to data from the US Bureau of Reclamation published Sunday. It is now just under 30 feet away from the point at which its dam will no longer be able to generate #hydropower.
The record comes 9 days after downstream #LakeMead, the US’ biggest #reservoir, dropped to its lowest level since it was first filled 9 decades ago.

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.

Interesting and beautiful update on the state of the 'big' Colorado dams and reservoirs. They're now hitting Engineering limits not just water use dispute limits.
Two things stuck out to me:
1/ A huge amount of water is used for growing feed for animal agriculture. <cough go vegan cough cough says I>
2/ The recovery of some of the recently dried out areas is surprisingly rapid.This link drops you in at the end of the video, at the surprisingly positive recovery stage. Watch the whole thing if you've time, I enjoyed it.
