Lake Powell Drought Update | Before and After 2024 Spring Runoff (Antelope)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- 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.

My man 💪, thank you for all the hard work and updates.
@@bigcheese5902 Thank you Mr. Cheese!
Great transitions! Thanks for the update!
Glad you like them!
Great content! I wish that they would keep the water level at least above 3583' to keep the Castle Rock Cut open (minimum safe level). It would benefit all! Just think about how much gas it would save with every houseboat and boat not having to go the long route past Antelope Marina! I'm a local her and am always monitoring the water level based on the Castle Rock Cut.
@@rickkrebsbach9278 for real! A lot of people are upset about the Cool Flow Right now. The cut is only up I think a couple of feet and by the end of the month or beginning of August it might be closed
@@DesertRatExploration As of today, it's 4.13' above the minimum safe level of 3583' which puts it at 3587.13'. If you google 'Lake Powell Water Database' and click on it, then scroll down it lists all of the significant points on the lake. I agree, that the recent cool flow release will probably impact it even more.
Very good
@@lelandkelley2199 thank you!!
Ahhhhhhh!!! Now that's the Lake Powell we know and love.
❤️
So good! Is this all at bullfrog and Halls Crossing?
Great update video...Thank you.
Great footage, Lord Rat. I, for one, appreciate the effort you put into this stuff 👍
Yeah, Powell is on the cusp now and just beginning to drop so all you folks should get down there and enjoy it while it lasts!
Castle Rock Cut, theoretically, has seven feet of water in it but that won't last long.
@@DaveFiggley thanks Dave. I’ll keep you posted with the Dam and the levels . Trying to make it to the cut soon.
So good! Is this all at bullfrog and Halls Crossing?
I hope we get to visit. I’ll try to email you.
@@bradrandel1408 copy. No it’s at Antelope point. A couple shots are of Bullfrog at the end.
THAT'S WITH THE MASSIVE DUMPS OF WATER TO "CREATE SAND BARS" IN LAKE MEAD
