1. Lake Powell

   Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona. It is a major vacation spot that around 2 million people visit every year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir, by maximum water capacity, in the United States behind Lake Mead, storing 24,322,000 acre feet of water when full. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the controversial Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination. The reservoir is named for explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed American Civil War veteran who explored the river via three wooden boats in 1869. In 1972, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area was established. It is public land managed by the National Park Service, and available to the public for recreational purposes. It lies in parts of Garfield, Kane, and San Juan counties in southern Utah, and Coconino County in northern Arizona. The northern limits of the lake extend at least as far as the Hite Crossing Bridge. A map centered at the confluence of the Escalante River 37°17′22″N 110°52′20″W / 37.28944°N 110.87222°W with the Colorado River gives a good view of the extent of the lake.³

Examples of lake powell in a Sentence

1. Brenda Burman:

   What we expect that means is that Lake Powell and Lake Mead will balance, that helps with what type of shortage we might have next year, that helps as far as where we think the reservoirs might be in two to three years, so it’s very good news.

2. Justin Mankin:

   The drought is pretty baked in, my expectation is fully that the American West is going to be in a drought through the rest of this year, at the very least. To recover from Lake Powell, we're talking about multiple seasons of above-average precipitation.

3. Zach Renstrom:

   If we stop construction water, that act alone would lay off about 20% of our county, we’ve made a commitment that we’re going to make sure to be good stewards of every single drop of water that’s already here and make sure we’re utilizing that. But when we look at our long-term growth and you know how much water we need, (the Lake Powell Pipeline) is still in our long-term plan.

4. Washington County:

   We’ve made a commitment that we’re going to make sure to be good stewards of every single drop of water that’s already here and make sure we’re utilizing that. But when we look at our long-term growth and you know how much water we need, (the Lake Powell Pipeline) is still in our long-term plan.

5. Justin Mankin:

   The effects of Lake Powell dipping below Lake Powell critical threshold in spring could reverberate through the states reliant on that water months down the road.
