A portion of used water making it to the #GreatSaltLake is better than no water making it to the lake because of water conservation.
Residential returns 50 to 90% of its used water.
Agriculture returns 30 to 50% of its used water.

Hurricane Vance has downgraded to a tropical storm. Remnant could reach up to the 4 corners area.

Politics infringing on the judicial has always been the scariest to me.
The judicial has to be seperated from either party.

NEW: Former Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen has taken to social media to urge retention of her former colleagues on the bench. It comes as top Republicans like @BurgessOwens have pushed for Justice Jill Pohlman to be ousted over decisions related to Prop 4. @abc4utah

Southeastern Utah precipitation is in record territory.
Given the expected weather forecast, it should remain there until December.

[GSL Sentinel @jamesferrin6]

Not monster, but GSL water basin eeked out a 1/4" precipitation last night!

Apparently 2 different measuring systems are being used for Lake Powell statistics, and they are not in sync.
Causing some confusion and being meshed together for different outputs
USGS and USBR.
Regardless Powell inflows have been very high.

So good to see!
12' of growth for Powell so far.

#GreatSaltLake fuel forecast
Train of storm systems 🤞
Transitioning into the snow regime, meaning we start seeing the snow reservoir start building in the mtns.
Good chances of a wet Halloween.

@TonyClimate I'm not sure AI is evolving as quickly as claimed. I see it learn one week then revert back the next. I see it make mistakes it was making a year ago, even after correction and acknowledging the correction.

Winds just started kicking up here in Clinton, has some rain with it. 👏👏

Snake River drainage and Northern Great Salt Lake water Basn tonight.

[NWS Pocatello @NWSPocatello]

Rain moving through extreme eastern Idaho.

@edmillard @ColoradoWater @COWaterCenter @northern_water @DenverWater Number 2 is where hydrology of the Colorado River system goes off the rails.
When anthropogenic impoundments are invisible the water accounting is incomplete. Return flows become unknowns and systems misinterprited.
Evaporations misattributed to Agriculture.

@ScottyUncle They do; I spent many hours up there with a bow back in the day!

@JoshuaBarzon The Utah "Nothing" contains the most beautiful red rock landscapes in the world.
So, no. It is not accurate.

Mr. Brightside's Powell Tracker:
San Juan still raging at Bluff:
37,300 CFS
Since storms started 9/15:
Powell up 809,000 AF
Relative to SEP26 Bureau Forecast:
Powell up 900,000 AF or 18 years worth of proposed 50,000 AFY Upper Basin fallowing program.

Powell about to pass Flaming Gorge's readily available storage.
Powell is using USGS instantaneous elevation so is very current.
This is new code, so don't trust it :)

@DataWater25743 21.70, that year must have been something else! Crazy!

[water-data.com @DataWater25743]

Rivers above Lake Powell, especially the San Juan, are raging and we will see multiple feet of lake level rise over the next 5 days or more...

[GSL Sentinel @jamesferrin6]

@DataWater25743 @NoticerNews @grok It is fake. As a gold prospector, I can tell you you're not getting something like that out of the earth with your fingers. notice how easily it wiggled out. the weight physics as he handles it looks more like a painted rock than a heavy piece of gold.
