Not only is Lake Powell's water level plummeting because of drought, its total capacity is shrinking, too

Lake Powell,/ the second-largest human-made reservoir in the US, / has lost / nearly 7% / of its potential storage capacity / since 1963, /when Glen Canyon Dam was built /, a new report shows.

 

Lake Powell (사람이 만든 두번째로 가장큰 저수지 (US에서) ) 잃어버렷다 거의 7퍼센트 / 잠재적 저장용량의 / 1963년부터 / 근데 그때는 Glen Canyon Dam가 지어졌을때 / 새로운 보고서가 보여준다

 

In addition to water loss / due to an intense multiyear drought, / the US Geological Survey and the Bureau of Reclamation report found /, Lake Powell / faced / an average annual loss / in storage capacity of about 33,270 acre-feet, or 11billion gallons, / per year between 1963 and 2018.

That's enough water /to fill the Reflecting Pool /on the National Mall /about 1,600 times.

The capacity of the reservoir / is shrinking / because of sediments / flowing in from the Colorado and San Juan rivers, / according to the report. Those sediments / settle / at the bottom of the reservoir / and decrease / the total amount of water / the reservoir can hold.
