Colorado River at Historic Low | Colorado Springs News
Description
The Colorado River is in crisis, with Lake Powell and Lake Mead hitting record lows—lower than they’ve been in nearly 70 years. Driven by decades of overuse, relentless drought, and rising temps, water managers are pushing states to cut usage, but consensus remains elusive. This isn’t a sudden emergency—it’s the culmination of long-term mismanagement, dating back to before Lake Powell even existed. The fallout? Tourism tanks as marinas relocate and boat ramps vanish, while communities across seven states brace for deeper cuts and lasting change.
