Lake Powell, the country's second-largest reservoir, has reached a record low water level. The level was measured at 3,519.91 feet, surpassing the previous record set in April 2023.

This measurement is considered provisional and may be revised due to the narrow margin. According to reports, the lake's water level has dropped significantly, with a decline of about 20 feet since the start of 2026.

Further details on the situation at Lake Powell are available from national news sources, including CNN, ABC News, and The Associated Press. These sources provide more information on the implications of the low water level, including the potential impact on hydroelectric power production.
