Lake Powell reaching critically low elevation levels, nearing 'dead power pool,' experts say
The reservoir is nearing the lowest point at which hydropower can be produced.
Lake Powell, the second-largest reservoir in the U.S., is nearing critically low water elevation levels, the latest data shows. As of Monday, water levels at Lake Powell measured at 3,524.3 feet above sea level, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation tracker. Minimum, or "dead," power pool -- in which the water is too low to spin the hydroelectric turbines and can no longer produce hydropower -- starts at 3,490 feet of elevation, Peter Soeth, public affairs lead at the Bureau of Reclamation, told ABC News. Elevation at Lake Powell is currently about 34 feet above the minimum power pool.

I took these photos when I was in the area...and it was already low then...

I was close to that lake when I was in Utah/Arizona but never made the trip to it.
