Welcome!
This is a flexible, powerful platform designed to allow Colorado River Basin stakeholders and the public to explore operational strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead as part of the Post-2026 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Process. This tool is intended to support early-stage exploration of operational strategies that may eventually be incorporated into the Post-2026 NEPA alternatives. For more information on this NEPA process, see Colorado River Post-2026 Operations.
