"Usually, we get our influx of water in the spring with the runoff, and this is kind of more than we had in the spring, I believe.
(Big Water, UT) -- Visits and revenue at Lake Powell are down. The National Park Service says the period that runs from June to September had 133-thousand fewer visitors than it did last year. Visitation is also down at three national parks in Utah.
Lake Powell has climbed 19 feet since hitting it's lowest levels in mid-September and that water has kept coming. Recent rainfall across the Four Corners region generated tremendous runoff into the Colorado River System. The San Juan River was a major contributor, accounting for an unusually large share of water flowing into Lake Powell.
LAKE POWELL, Utah (ABC4) — Recent storms brought historic flooding to southeastern Utah, sending a surge of water into Lake Powell and giving the reservoir a much-needed boost. Lake Powell has risen nearly 20 feet since the beginning of October, but despite the increase, the reservoir remains at only about 26% capacity.
Dave Curtis' businesses on the north side of Lake Powell keep the boats, bathing suits and burgers moving. But Curtis, who owns Ticaboo Lodge and Offshore Marina, says it was a hard summer. "Revenue has been off by about 50 to 60 percent this year," Curtis said.
Hydrologists say the boost is a "nice start to the water year," though the increase doesn't solve the lake's drought problems. Heavy rain that caused flooding last week in the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado and New Mexico has had what water experts say is a beneficial side effect: A marked rise in the water level of Lake Powell.
