Lake Powell has reached its highest level in six years, a sign that the Colorado River is recovering from one of the worst dry spells on record. The giant reservoir hit its peak for the year late last month, 45 feet higher than it was in March before the river swelled with melted snow from the wettest winter on the Colorado watershed in a decade. The runoff boosted water storage for Arizona and the other states that rely on the Colorado River and improved conditions for boaters and anglers, many of whom had stayed away from the drought-stricken lake since its decline.
- JJ Commentary: The “monsoon” season has been pretty good so far too which has kept the wildfires at bay. Keep on praying for rain because we still have several years’ worth of deficits to make up
