Lake Powell has finally reached its crest as the Colorado River’s Spring Runoff has subsided. This is called a “Base Flow Period” where the inflows into the lake match the outflows of Glen Canyon Dam’s discharge. All this water is going through the Grand Canyon and heading to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. Lake Mead will be on the rise as the river outlet works "jet tubes" have opened.
In this video you will witness the gradual change that has happened with this years spring runoff. Lake Powell has topped off close to the same level as 2023. Meaning the Lake is a few feet higher than last years levels.
At the end of the video I explain what is happening with Glen Canyon Dam’s "Cool Flow Mix” which is similar to a High Flow Experiment. The Bureau of Reclamation is now sending more colder water down stream to disrupt small mouth bass population which are causing trouble to the natural Humpback Chub in the Colorado River.
You will witness this change at Antelope Point where there is a public launch ramp. Please enjoy the views and don’t for get to like and subscribe to my channel for more content.
