Just for the record, all lakes are transitory. In fact no surface features on Earth are permanent, including oceans.
Lake Powell is doing it’s job IMHO.
It is a man-made lake put in place to help regulate Colorado river water – when we have a good year like this year (plenty of snow melt but not so much to as to flood the dams) then it is used as a storage facility. We can use the water in subsequent dry years.
And it might not last it’s fully predicted life – but if it fails or catastrophically silts up, or somehow or another becomes useless, it will be our loss. Right now though: Looking good. Here’s some stats for today:
Last Reading: 3660.65 feet elevation on Jul 25, 2011
Lake Powell was last within 2″ of this elevation on Nov 24, 2001
There are currently 6,053,614,408,328 gallons of water in Lake Powell
Love it.
