Lake Powell
Water Elevation
Why do we
care? Well, Lake Powell's water level
is a priority over Lake Mead's, so until
Powell is near full, Lake Mead will only
receive enough water downstream to keep it's
elevation just above 1100'.
|
The number is the elevation of the water in
Lake Mead as measured at the dam.
The water level in Lake
Powell is "full" at 3700' in elevation and hold 23.5 million
acre feet at this elevation.
If Powell hits 3636 in elevation, they will start filling Lake Mead.
