Summary

Flooding from late October and early November storms ran through usually dry creeks in the U.S. Southwest, inundating nearby communities and forcing evacuations. The runoff has lifted Lake Powell more than 20 feet above its mid-September record low, though the reservoir remains only about a quarter full. Reports describe the water as replenishing lakes and aquifers, but the region is still in drought, and officials are not expected to change Colorado River release decisions until snowpack peaks around April. Reports differ on how much the flooding will ultimately help water supplies, and Arizona joined Nevada in a federal lawsuit challenging a plan to reduce Colorado River water use.
