according to DuncanWaring’s link http://lakepowell.water-data.com

Lake Powell is down from last year to nearly historic lows but its now refilling fast.

From what I’ve read, the lakes are down so low that it would take a couple years of more than 100% snowpack —as it is this year—in the rockies to refill the dams.

That said, its nice to hear there’s such a big snow pack this year.

If you go to that link, and hit “Graphs” immediately below the image at the top of the page, then select “Lake Powell” from the pull-down menu, you can see a graph of the lake level for the last five years.

2011 was very good, the other three of the four previous years were bad.

Lake Mead’s also available there; it’s not doing any better.

In April 2005 it got down to 3555’ before the spring runoff started; the last time it had been that low was during the early months of the Nixon administration, when it was initially filling.
