The Colorado River’s biggest reservoirs are in ‘uncharted territory’ after new record low
The nation's two largest reservoirs are extraordinarily dry and just set a new record for low water levels. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, which store water from the Colorado River for use by major cities, tribes, and a massive agriculture industry, are the lowest they've been in nearly 70 years. The last time their combined storage was this small was in May 1957, before Lake Powell was even built. The data comes from a new paper published by a widely respected group of Colorado River experts.

Can the humble swamp cooler still contend with Utah’s heat?
As northern Utah sees more days above 100 degrees, residents are debating the pros and cons of cooling off with a relic of the West’s past. Fifty or 60 years ago, swamp coolers were the region’s go-to. Rocky Mountain Power spokesperson Dave Eskelsen estimated they were in four out of five homes in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Now, once-ubiquitous evaporative systems are found in just a small fraction of homes.
