"Water experiments boost Lake Mead and Colorado River conditions"
TL;DR Summary
The US Bureau of Reclamation has begun a High Flow Experiment (HFE) by releasing 39,500 cubic feet per second of water from Lake Powell to restore sandbars and beaches in the Grand Canyon and move sediment downriver to Nevada's Lake Mead. The HFE will last for 72 hours and is expected to peak on Wednesday morning before subsiding back to normal flow on Saturday. Lake Mead is projected to rise 33 feet higher than expected this year due to snowpack levels in the Upper Colorado River Basin.
