Lake Powell is in crisis. So reports KUNC’s Alex Hager, who covers the Colorado River – the most important water body for 40 million people across the Southwest. He says the nation’s second largest reservoir is strained by more than two decades of drought. Just last month, water in Lake Powell dipped below its target elevation. Today on the news, we speak to Hager about region-wide implications. Plus, sanctions and supply disruptions due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are sure to have ripples throughout the global economy. One of these ripples might reach to Potash Road in Moab.
