Denise GutzmerInterior Department starts emergency drought measures to prop up Lake Powell
Widespread drought and fears of a power crisis are forcing the US Bureau of Reclamation to start sending billions of gallons of water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir downstream to prop up Lake Powell.
The releases began Thursday. The water will travel down the Green River until it joins the Colorado near Canyonlands in Utah and makes its way to Lake Powell.

From AP News.com: Water to surge into drought-depleted Lake Powell but at costs elsewhere

Colorado River water releases aim to help Lake Powell electricity
Desert canyons in eastern Utah will be churning this spring with huge volumes of water in a desperate attempt to keep a reservoir on the Colorado River generating electricity. Federal officials plan to release enough water from Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Wyoming and Utah to lower its level by as much as 27 feet over the next year. The goal is to bring up the level of Lake Powell on the Arizona-Utah line. A decades-long drought has Lake Powell at just 23% capacity and approaching the point where water won't be able to flow into its turbines without air causing damage.

Reclamation Acts to Protect Colorado River System During Historic Drought
Lake Powell’s water year minimum probable inflow is forecasted at just 2.78 million acre-feet—29% of historical average and one of the lowest on record. Reclamation’s April “24 Month Study” projects Lake Powell may decline to below 3,490 feet—the minimum power pool level—by August 2026 without major intervention. If Glen Canyon Dam declines below 3,490 feet, water releases would be only through the river outlet works, which could cause operational issues, uncertainty for users, downstream impacts, instability in regional power and water supplies, and a reduction in power generation.
To stabilize the system, initial plans include adding up to about 2.48 maf of water to Lake Powell by moving water from the upstream Flaming Gorge Reservoir and by reducing releases from Lake Powell.

The genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology but it is really just marketing for power.
