SALT LAKE CITY â States relying on the Colorado River system for much of their water are bracing for declarations of shortage soon.
Such a declaration would be unprecedented. It would mandate steps to store water in Lake Powell from smaller reservoirs upstream, like Utah s Flaming Gorge, that have more robust levels.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released a 24-month projection for Lake Powell in the spring showing they expect the lake to drop below 3,525 feet around March of 2022.
Democrats on the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee have emphasized an agreement between the upper Colorado states, including Utah, that if the lake drops below 3,525 feet in elevation, they need to take steps to provide more water from reservoirs like Flaming Gorge, Blue Mesa, and Navajo.
