The water level at Lake Powell has dropped to its lowest level since the lake was created in the 1960s, bringing it close to the critical level that will prevent Glen Canyon Dam from producing power.
The water level in Lake Powell has dropped about 50 feet in the past year due to the ongoing drought.
Bureau of Reclamation officials said Wednesday if the water level falls another 65 feet, Glen Canyon Dam will no longer be physically able to produce power.
