Lake Powell water levels falling
Published on March 13, 2026.
The Glen Canyon Dam, which impounds the Colorado River, is an important source of hydroelectric power in the Southwest, generating 1,320 megawatts of power to serve upwards of 1 million homes. However, the amount of power generated by the dam has been decreasing along with the water levels in Lake Powell. The "bathtub ring" shows the highest level the lake has ever reached. The low water levels are visible in several images, including a boat launch at Lake Powell which ends short of the water.
