The problem with Mead and Powell stem from low snow pack in the Rockies. How ever in the last few years the snow pack has been closer to nomal. But thats not enough to bring the Lakes back to full pool. Both are about 50ft below full pool. Things are actually stalble now. Some believe the problem has been compounded by poor management of Powell's levels witch impacts Mead. We need above normal snow pack to get things back to normal.
Powell had been down 124ft.
