Drain Lake Powell. (www.glencanyon.org) It is absolutely amazing to think of it. In 1963, Glen Canyon was built with only a 40 year life expectancy. The water coming into Lake Powell has a 50% sediment load. It took 20 years to fill it with water. Engineers expected it may take as little as 40 years to fill with silt. New estimates raise the expectancy to 80 to 120 years. But in any case, the Lake Powell vacation wonderland is quickly turning into a silt clogged cesspool. Well, it is not too late to pull the plug.
