Isn't that what Glen Canyon Dam exists for?

Isn't that what Glen Canyon Dam exists for?
- lazide 4y agoNope, though it helps. On a flood year, the Colorado is pretty nuts.
- sidewndr46 4y agoWhat's the real impact of a downpour year (like the 1980s had) downstream of Glen canyon dam without the Hoover dam in place? It looks like Yuma is the only population center before you get to Mexico. Mexico historically gets basically 0 water from the river from what I understand.
- lazide 4y agoThere are some interesting studies on it, but practically ‘it depends’. Mostly water capture infra, bridges, etc. right now I imagine. We’d want to capture as much of that water though, most likely.
