May 24, 2007–Lake Powell is doomed, activist says (Grand Junction Daily Sentinel)
Rich Ingebretsen is trying to spread a message many Colorado River Basin water managers don’t like: “Lake Powell is going away.” His argument goes like this: Silt will clog Lake Powell, rendering it useless, and global warming is going to ravage the West with higher temperatures and inadequate precipitation so much that Lake Powell by even the Bureau of Reclamation’s estimation will be empty 15 percent of the time and only 40 percent full most of the time.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

All lakes eventually silt up due to erosion and the drainage area for Powell is huge. Silting is the future of all the man made lakes as well as natural lakes. Of course Chicken Little government agencies need to tell us about the potential for the sky to fall.
