📰 News we're reading

1. Recent rains were 'a drop in the bucket' for Colorado River reservoir water (wyomingpublicmedia.org) — Lake Powell rose 14 feet after recent storms, giving Glen Canyon Dam some breathing room without ending the reservoir's water crisis. The lake remains about 15 feet below its level a year ago, and water experts say the gains are unlikely to change Arizona's planned Colorado River supply cuts.
   

2. What Happens If Lake Granby Is Drained To Save Lake Powell (worldatlas.com) — Draining Colorado's Lake Granby would offer only a modest lift to Lake Powell near Page, this analysis finds. Using its late-August storage, the hypothetical release could raise Powell roughly four feet if all the water arrived, while imposing major costs on Colorado water supplies and recreation.
   

3. Flagstaff Event Almanac for November 10 (azdailysun.com) — A Coconino County Workforce Development Board vacancy is among the news notices in this Flagstaff roundup, with Page included in the board's service area. The calendar also lists November 11–12 activities in Flagstaff, including a Route 66 centennial talk, theater previews and Navy presentations at the Downtown Library.
   

4. A River Runs Through It. An AI Data Center Tried to Move In. (outsideonline.com) — Page is considering a $10 billion data center two miles from Horseshoe Bend, one of several proposals near national park sites. The broader story follows residents in Bonner, Montana, whose opposition to a riverside data center persuaded the property manager to withdraw support for the project.
