| Abstract | The winter of 1982-83 was especially wet in the upper basin of the Colorado River, resulting in high snowpack levels that could potentially translate into greatly increased flows in the river. This potential was realized when late winter and early spring storms added to the snowpack and increased the volume and rate of runoff from the mountains into the river. Lake Powell began to fill at an alarming rate, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation was forced to release an unprecedented volume of water-up to 93,000 cubic feet per second (cfs)-from Glen Canyon Dam. This unanticipated event accelerated awareness of dam operations and their potential effects on downstream cultural resources. |
