YOY water elevation continues to increase in July

[nevada miner]

'24 high water was 2.49 ft above '23 high water (3587.17 vs 3584.68)

July'24 is now 4.06 ft above end of July'23.

Will this August'24 differential grow even more??

I wonder if they will send additional storage to Mead as the weeks and months go by here? I would love to know the reason as to why they let Mead fall 15' during the spring runoff period.

Must have been a good August monsoon...currently lake powell elevation is 3580.81 ft or 6.42 ft above that tremendous runoff in 2023!

The optimists (70%) were right!

Discharge was lower this year. Expect them to make up for it in October.

Yet October is then the next water year. I'm glad the monsoons were as good as they were this season and I hope it continues to rain enough to keep the soil moisture levels high going into the winter snow accumulation period.

Thought this an interesting statistic today....6.43 up.....6.43 down......

Kudos again to the fellow who tirelessly runs this site...

Great site except for the annoying 'creeping' ad at the bottom.....

I have not seen monsoon action at all yet this year. Some decent storms have rolled through SW Colorado but monsoon has been "nonsoon"...

we have had weekly good rains coming through grand junction this year. Just last night we had it dump for an hour or so. Ill take any drop of water we can get.

It pounded hard for a while for sure.
