Schmidt2 with contributions from Maggi Kraft3, Daphnee Tuzlak4, and Alex Walker3 White Paper No. 1 Center for Colorado River Studies Quinney College of Natural Resources Utah State University November 10, 2016 Executive Summary The Fill Mead First (FMF) plan would establish Lake Mead reservoir as the primary water storage facility of the main-stem Colorado River and would relegate Lake Powell reservoir to a secondary water storage facility to be used only when Lake Mead is full. The objectives of the FMF plan are to re-expose some of Glen Canyon’s sandstone walls that are now inundated, begin the process of re-creating a riverine ecosystem in Glen Canyon, restore a more natural stream-flow, temperature, and sediment-supply regime of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon ecosystem, and reduce system-wide water losses caused by evaporation and movement of reservoir water into ground-water storage. The FMF plan would be implemented in three phases. Phase I would involve lowering Lake Powell to the minimum elevation at which hydroelectricity can still be produced (called minimum power pool elevation): 3490 ft asl (feet above sea level). At this elevation, the water surface area of Lake 1 suggested citation: Schmidt, J. C., Kraft, M., Tuzlak, D., and Walker, A. 2016. Fill Mead First: a technical assessment.

  • Lake Powell Mansour Sharifzadeh, (E-Mail: [email protected]), California State Polytechnic University, Pomona
    Journal of Business Case Studies – Second Quarter 2007 Volume 3, Number 2 Lake Powell Mansour Sharifzadeh, (E-mail: [email protected]), California State Polytechnic University, Pomona ABSTRACT The purpose of the “Lake Powell’ case is to help students of Strategic Management learn the process of strategic management. This case can provide an opportunity for the students to learn strategy formulation and implementation along with some of the current issues such as “cooking the books”. Some sections of the Lake Powell case are real life situations, but all of the numbers and most of operations information are fictitious. Four experienced and knowledgeable men started Lake Powell Company with many opportunities and strength. However the company has lost money in the last five years. Students analyze, formulate and write an implementation of a strategy to save this company. Students then try to answer the following questions. What should be the proposed plan to Richmond for the Marina in order to have an effective, efficient, and profitable operation? How would it be funded? However the instructor will look at other scenarios and ask the students to figure out the four partner’s real goal. THE SETTING ake Powell is located between the borderline of Arizona and Utah along the Colorado River. It has a spectacular scenery view from Grand Canyon, vivid pink sunset, to a full night of stars. The possibilities L of fishing, skiing, or living in the houseboat on the brilliant blue water are other options to consider. It is nearly two thousand miles of shoreline, 96 major canyons, countless coves and winding waterways.

    SandstoneGeometryon the Colorado Plateau Stan Wagon, Dept. of Mathematics, Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota 55105, USA [email protected] H. Allen Curran, Dept. of Geosciences, Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts 01063, USA [email protected] Mathematicians often encounter interesting geometrical shapes in their travels, in both developed or natural areas. One region that has continually presented the rst author with diverse geometric surprises is the Colorado Plateau, a vast semi-desert region of largely Late Paleozoic to Mesozoic sandstones ranging from western Colorado through southern Utah and northern Arizona. In this article, we present some examples that cover the gamut, from blocks to spheres to other diverse geometrical forms. See [3] for the big picture of geologic evolution in this area. All photographs were taken by Stan Wagon during his two decades exploring the region. 1. Tiling by Cubes At a location overlooking the famous goosenecks of the San Juan River in Utah (eight km NW of Goosenecks State Park and 450 meters higher), there are hundreds of huge right-angled blocks falling out of the upper layer of Cedar Mesa Sandstone (Figs. 1, 2). This sandstone is of Early Permian age, formed about 270 million years ago. Some blocks are close to perfect cubes, while others are rectilinear boxes. An aerial view should show the orthogonal structure more clearly. Such a view is easy to get using Google Earth and indeed one can see an almost perfect geometrical sawtooth made from right angles (Fig. 3). Further examination of the region leads to a nearby location where the aerial view shows an almost perfect tiling by rectangles (Fig.
