This video shows the raw, controlled, insane amount of water released at 39,500 cfs. Originating from a massive hydroelectric dam that is the Glen Canyon Dam. You will see the Colorado River at a high flow in order to transport sediment down river to aid the beaches in the Grand Canyon. This is the first spring high flow and hasn’t happened since the drought conditions started to worsen back in 2018. The lake dropped 4 feet in 72 hours. Please note the before and after shots taken at Lee’s Ferry. All water is heading to Lake Mead as billions of gallons flow through the Grand Canyon. Links for data will be provided below.
