A water lawyer in colorado. The water always goes to lake. Powell and this release is part of the plan. And it's using the reservoirs for one of their intended purposes but in twenty nineteen after it was clear that the prolonged drought was only getting worse. The states that share the colorado river agreed to this new plan. that's what triggered the emergency water releases. When lake powell dropped to a point that threatened hydro-electricity production. Eric night is a hydrologist for the. Us bureau of reclamation. Hydropower generation is obviously very important to a lot of the customers around the western states. And also there's a lot of funding for programs that come from hydropower revenue. The money from hydropower helps pay for the construction and maintenance of the dams and reservoirs lake powell's dam is already producing west power because of the drought. So the federal agency that distributes. The electricity has had to buy more power for its customers. And it's expected that the price of that power will go up night says if snowpack and water runoff remained low. Again next year the federal government could take more water from blue mesa and the other reservoirs. Obviously we need to be ready to do something. And so we've done a little bit so far but you know no one can really answer the question as to whether it's not that would be enough or not. Researchers have found that much of the past. Two decades of western drought is due to the warming. Climate night says the tens of millions of people who rely on the complex colorado river management system might need to adapt it to an even drier warmer future one. Its creators never imagined for npr.
