What is the water level now in Lake Mead and Lake Powell?

Mead up 4 feet from this time last year, Powell inflow 129% of normal.

Mead is still lower than it was in 2017. I go to Lake Mead and Lake Powell on alternating years and have been doing so for many years. There is no question that water levels are way down. The first time I went to Lake Mead was in 1999 and the water level was almost all the way up to the block wall on the back of the Temple Bar Resort property. Now it is about a half mile drive down an incredibly long boat ramp to get to the water. When you are about 150 feet low, then 4 feet don’t mean much. But I’ll take it.

What more evidence do you need of climate change? Don't forget, all that huge water flow is incontrovertible evidence that the climate is getting drier.
