One of their top asks: consider fixing or overhauling Glen Canyon Dam. The infrastructure problems at the dam in northern Arizona have come into focus over the last few years. If the levels of Lake Powell continue to decline and reach critically low levels, water could be released only through four 8-foot-wide steel tubes, potentially limiting how much could pass downstream to the three states and Mexico. Last year, federal officials discovered damage inside those four tubes that could severely restrict water flow when reservoir levels are low, raising risks the Southwest could face major shortages that were previously unforeseen. “It's a better situation to have the dam actually function without tripping us up and forcing massive reductions,” said JB Hamby, California’s Colorado River commissioner.
