I miss John Denver haha. Bob Denver was a good mate for The Skipper for sure. But yes I'd love to join y'all for some ice, Tangueray and a topping of a good tonic water.

Right. This pic is 70 miles west of Denver. I will say there is more snow in my yard this time of year than the last 2 years. If we can keep getting these snows once a week until April and hold onto 95% snowpack, I think we could see 3545-3550. Remember, we're at the bottom of the "Martini Glass" so it wont take as much to bring it up 25-30 feet.That flight from 'Denver' couldn't be that expensive......

There! I got the link to work properly.
These are some of the most important documents that govern the Bureau of Reclamation's policies.

Thanks Ed. Very good article with great references. I live in Lake Havasu City now and have been boating on Lake Powell since 1980. The history and The Law of the River of the Colorado has always fascinated me. To get a quick background in those subjects and the whole point of the BOR projects stemming from it refer to Wickapedia on the Parker Dam, California River Aqueduct, and Central Arizona Project. Hoover Dam, and all other dams that have been built since, are to store water to be transferred, mainly to Southern California. That is the main reason our lake is kept full. The drinking straws for L.A., San Diego, Phoenix, and Tucson draw from here, and they don't work if the lake is not almost full. Lake Havasu is not that deep any way, around 40 to 60 feet in the main channel.An interesting overview of issues affecting Lake Powell water levels:
Lake Powell to drop below target level, a troubling sign for Colorado River - The Nevada Independent
Check out current Nevada Environmental News: Lake Powell Dropping Below Target Level Raises Concerns. Read more about the story here.thenevadaindependent.com
There is a collection of laws, treaties, and Supreme Court judgements that govern Bureau of Reclamation decisions in a link in the above article concerning the Law of the River. I've tried to include it as a separate link, but I can't get it to work. It is very informative.
Still can happen...

Havasu kind of serves as the forebay for the pumps that fill the various canals, right?

You’re not much of a consultant if you’re willing to settle for $60 an hour. Just sayin’…Sure, Sparky

The USGS gauge at the dam now shows that the lake has definitively dropped below the 3525 foot level. The symbolic threshold has been breached, and we are not even halfway through March.

I guess we are waynes wormers now.... Don't really think ole bobby boy needs to be here then since he believes the Glen Dam is a "crime"
Megadrought likely to continue
In this morning's paper.. https://www.denverpost.com/2022/02/19/colorado-megadrought-study-years/ Apparently hasn't been another drought this severe since 1500.
Does anyone know ... ?
Does anyone here know who's behind the 'Wayne's Words' blog? Going on there is akin to visiting a cult. They just can't handle hearing the bleedin' obvious that their reservoir is disappearing FAST. I'll say it here again - Powell will max out at 3520 after the runoff and drop to 3480 by...

As for being called an A**hole?......well, I'm so used to it, it could be my middle name....
Remember what we said as kids....'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me'

I've drafted a new version of the saying for the current state of snowflakery... "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but it's your words that really hurt me."

Beyond that, the premise is all wrong if he thinks that people here don't think the lake is in trouble. Those who have been on this site have recognized trouble for the lake far earlier than anyone else and have been eager to see someone with authority do anything about it and have offered many suggestions on ways to adjust to the current realities. It certainly is nicer to be in forums where those that stir the pot just to make people upset aren't able to get ahold of a spoon.
