A critical Colorado River reservoir relied on by California and millions of people across the West has sunk to its lowest level on record — putting both water supplies and hydroelectric power generation under growing pressure. Lake Powell fell to an elevation of 3,519. 91 feet above sea level Saturday — edging below the previous record set in April 2023, according to federal data cited by ABC30.
