Halfway through June, another million acre feet on the Colorado River

Posted by on

The June mid-month forecast from the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center is up a million acre feet from June 1.

Total April-July inflow into Lake Powell is now projected to be 6 million acre feet, up from 5 million acre feet forecast on June 1. That’s still below average, just 84 percent of the mean. But it’s double the forecast on May 1.
