Lake Powell hits record-low summer water levels as climate-driven drought depletes Colorado River snowpack

Summary

Lake Powell, a major reservoir serving over 40 million Americans across seven states, has hit its lowest summer water levels in recorded history due to a climate change-fueled spring drought and record-low snowpack. The Colorado River snowmelt that typically refills the 254-square-mile lake has been severely diminished, threatening water supply, irrigation, and hydroelectric power for millions across the American West.
