#ColoradoRiver #LakeMead #WaterNews #DroughtMonitor As October begins, Lake Mead and Lake Powell remain near historic lows, with Colorado River releases running well below historical medians. But scarcity is only part of the story. Across the West, tropical storms have unleashed extreme flooding and dam emergencies, while states are fighting over increasingly valuable groundwater. Lake Mead stands at about 26% capacity, while Lake Powell is at 21%—just 29 feet above minimum power pool. In southern New Mexico, tropical moisture brought extraordinary rainfall, flash flooding and evacuations below McLeod Dam. This week also brings developments from the mountains to the U.S. Supreme Court. New research reveals how thirsty mountain vegetation can tap shallow groundwater that otherwise helps sustain Colorado River headwaters. At Moab, crews have completed the surface removal of 17 million tons of radioactive uranium mill tailings, shifting attention underground to groundwater cleanup. California has begun a $200 million modernization of the Friant-Kern Canal, while Colorado and Nebraska are battling over the South Platte River Compact before the Supreme Court. And Colorado voters will soon decide whether outdoor recreation tax revenue should help fund watershed protection. Visit https://www.western-water.com for water news published every day but Sunday.
