As Lake Powell shrinks, marinas are having to adapt to dwindling water levels
Lake Powell's water levels have dropped to historic lows due to drought, climate change, and overuse, forcing marinas to adapt by relocating boat ramps and facilities. The reservoir is 23% full and nearing levels that could halt hydropower production, with combined Lake Powell and Lake Mead storage at their lowest in nearly 70 years.
