— the nation’s largest reservoir — dropped below 1,050 feet elevation for the first time last week, a critical milestone that signals more stringent water cuts are around the corner for the Southwest.
If the US Bureau of Reclamation determines in its August report that the lake level will be at or below that elevation in January 2023, the Southwest will move into the second tier of unprecedented water cuts that will further reduce the amount of Colorado River water that can be used by cities, industry and tribal water users.As the water level drops, formerly sunken boats are emerging in the mud, and other vehicles are getting newly stuck.
Travis Pardee, who took several photos of the boats, told CNN he believes there are dozens in the area, but he only photographed a few of them.that showed trucks stuck in the mud around the lake — a shoreline that looks deceivingly stable, but acts more like quicksand. “If you’re struggling to maneuver your car, boat or yourself along the beach, immediately head to higher ground if possible,” NPS said on Twitter. “No boat or car is worth a life.”
