Congress weighs draining Lake Powell despite backlash
The Sierra Club proposal to drain the 252 square mile Lake Powell on the Colorado River sparked a congressional hearing. Lawmakers called the idea silly and monumentally dumb, with no plans for environmental review. Draining could cost hundreds of millions. Sierra Club leader Adam Werbach praised it as an amazing restoration project, while Interior officials called it unrealistic. The dam and lake generate tourism and hundreds of millions in local revenue, but Brower argues the lake hides Glen Canyon’s scenic canyons.
