The Bureau of Reclamation has released a new memo stating that damage found at Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona could affect river flows down the Colorado River. This has the potential to impact drinking water for 30 million Americans.

In this episode of timeBomb we will take a look at Glen Canyon Dam’s reservoir Lake Powell. We begin by reviewing the current water level statistics to see how they compare to years past. Then we jump into the main focus of this video, a startling new report from the Bureau of Reclamation highlights severe issues with the Glen Canyon Dam’s infrastructure, particularly the pipes critical for water release. Discover how these developments could impact water levels at Lake Mead and management of the Colorado River in general.

Stay tuned as we unravel these complex issues and consider the future of one of America’s largest reservoirs. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights!
