    The funny thing is, that Hoover Dam was built in 1936 and Glen Canyon Dam was built in 1955 with Antique plumbing? Really....Then why doesn't Hoover Dam have the same problem?

Was it the highest quality bidder or the lowest price? We get it that it’s not complicated to understand the design changes…but who approved an unproven design in the first place?

      In the meantime California Governor Newscum can’t account for $24 Billion spent on “the homeless crisis” and he just got another $190+million more for the homeless crisis today. In the meantime America’s infrastructure crumbles.

      Utah does, however, get water from the Green River, which is a tributary.

    If the water level has dropped then why release water? This story has me scratching my head over this and how it will increase costs to Utahns. Everybody downstream should pay. The water that feeds into the Wasatch Front comes from the East and not the South East.

    It’s been 30 years 👴🏻 since I have forgotten the title and author of a seminal work about the West’s water crisis. If you can help me I’d appreciate it. “Silent Spring” by S Sontag was telling us what Chevron, Exxon, and texaco knew. Today we never see flocks of hundreds or thousands of birds aloft

      Ask the Republican Utah government. They are the ones responsible for applying for the federal money available. Maybe the people of Utah should actually vote in a state government that wants to help the state rather than dictate what women can and can't do with their own bodies. But alas, all you guys always do is blame the wrong people.

    This in the 80s would be a huge issue, but fastforward to now and creating a scare of the water supply and there has been insoection after inspection saying that everything is alright until "uh oh"? Rollout the law suits throughout the 2030s, thats madness. Then allowing it to be reported as a potential crisis? Research studies for nearly killing a population. That construction team should have been there maintaining things since the 90s.
