Read the original article on newsweek.com (opens in a new tab)Newsweek reports that recent storms lifted Lake Powell by more than 20 feet and Lake Mead slightly, and it quotes officials and experts who say the gains do not end the crisis. The figures match the agency data it cites and its own earlier reporting. The one gap is that Newsweek describes a record multidecadal drought and damaging floods without any word that warming makes such droughts and downpours worse.
Minor
“amid what federal water managers described as an “unprecedented,” multi decadal drought in the Colorado River Basin”
How we know
“a non-profit that supports restoring Glen Canyon and allowing the Colorado River to flow freely through the Grand Canyon”
Newsweek tells readers what the Glen Canyon Institute campaigns for before quoting it, so its call for "Fill Mead First" reads as advocacy and not as neutral analysis.
“The recent heavy rains also led to damaging floods and forced evacuation s in portions of the Southwest”
Newsweek does not present the storms as purely good news. It reports the harm they caused alongside the gains in the reservoirs.
“what federal water managers described as an “unprecedented,” multi decadal drought”
Newsweek attributes the description of the drought to the federal water managers who used it, keeping clear whose assessment it is.
