Glen Canyon Dam's New Strategy | Lake Powell Update - July 2024

Welcome to the latest Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam update for July 2024. This video covers the most recent water level changes and trends at one of America's largest reservoirs.

We'll review current water statistics, including significant changes in elevation, and make predictions about future levels. Additionally, we'll examine the Bureau of Reclamation's unusual water releases from the Glen Canyon Dam aimed at cooling the Colorado River.

Find out if these measures are effectively lowering the river's temperature and preventing the spread of invasive species, impacting the local ecosystem. We'll also discuss the return of the Charles Hall Ferry service, which has resumed operations after being halted due to low water levels.

Stay tuned to see if the predictions hold true and what the future holds for Lake Powell. Hit that like button, share your thoughts in the comments, and subscribe for more in-depth water management updates. Let's get started!

Fill up Lake Powell and you will have more cold water. FILL IT!

[SteveEdwards-dy]

We need water.
We need electricity.
Everything else is a luxury. God gave us brains to invent the reservoir. For people's needs. Fill it up & use it wisely!

[Essentials]

Hurry up and update Lake Mead. You slack’in!

[WillCory]

They do know smallmouth bass are a cold water fish hence the great lake when they freeze over and people ice fish for them!

[Thenormalnut]

They should not use the river outlets unless they have too.

It’s been stated that using them at low water levels can accelerate cavitation

[tomcash]

So if the small mouth bass wins out whats wrong with that?

[JohnnyParker-wenf]

Petroglyphs, dam repair, Chubb. Over the years you have come up with a lot of excuses to drain lake Powell and mead.

[Davidsavage]

Lake mead can handle all of that Glen holds back. Its fine.

[SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

Releasing cold water from Lake Powell to control small mouth bass population is the wildest thing I've heard on the internet all week

[gabrielchiodo]

How deep is the water, , not sea level

[davidjoseph]

Thatt thing with the bass smells fishy to me.

[parkerxgps]

Not much change up if it does. Weather hasn't been that wet.

[robertbrander]

You people just seem, to Wanna Complain about Everything ... almost like Normal doesn't exist or matter .... It must be good for Click Bait ....

[WestCoasHaze]

Screw the bass, screw hydropower. Keep the water for drinking and residential use only

[bryan]

Wasting water to save a near extinct fish, sounds very California 🤪

[williamsohveymah]

Introducing none native fish into waters where they don't belong solely for recreational sport fishing has always been totally as stupid idea. Always had to be for some kind of egotistical pleasure disregarding natural habitat and wildlife. The dam shouldn't be there at all. Get rid of it so this nonesense of worry about water at glen canyon dam can go away with it. People! Move to places where there is more water to back east and or north. Stop the stupidity of wasting soaking up the desert.
