Lake Powell, a significant water resource in the US, has experienced a substantial decrease in its storage capacity since 1963. The Glen Canyon Dam, which was constructed in 1963, has contributed to this trend. Since then, the reservoir has lost nearly 7% of its potential storage capacity, primarily due to prolonged drought. This reduction underscores the need for continued water management strategies to ensure long-term sustainability of the lake’s resources.
