Drought Likely to Force Record Low Release Of Water From Lake Powell into Lake Mead

摘要

Thanks to 14 years of drought conditions in the West, the Bureau of Reclamation is poised to recommend the lowest water release ever between the two major Colorado River reservoirs, according to an environmental law professor. "This will be the first-ever delivery shortage between Lake Powell and Lake Mead," said Brad Udall, director of the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment at the University of Colorado School of Law.
