Looks like they will not be able to keep 3525 without cuts to water delivery. That will start threatening hydro production at Lake Mead.
Will summer rains save the water managers?

Thanks for commenting. The answer, “It depends”, runoff so far is not looking spectacular and it will take several above average years for Powell to recover so an above average monsoon would help the lower basin tremendously. How are you at precipitation dancing?
