Lake Mead UPDATE March 2023 Record Rain/Snow and Drought Water Level Effects CA #2023 #water #update

Welcome back Colorado River Watchers! In this spring water level report, we’ll look into the record rain and snow that plummeted the west since the start of the year. We’ll also look at its impact (or lack thereof) on reservoir levels. In addition we’re going to discover when Lake Mead usually sees its highest water level each year, so we can calculate whether the floods and snowpack might bring any drought relief to the reservoir before summer.

I would like to thank everyone for their continued support, ideas, corrections, and comments! Stay tuned as we work on more periodic water level updates and a new year filled with new adventures!
