By the 1950s, due to rapid population growth in the seven U.S. and two <a href="/wiki/List_of_states_of_Mexico" title="List of states of Mexico">Mexican states</a> comprising the Colorado River Basin, the Bureau of Reclamation deemed the construction of additional reservoirs necessary.<a href="#cite_note-CRSP-8">[8]</a> The Glen Canyon Dam remains a central issue for modern environmentalist movements. Beginning in the late 1990s, the <a href="/wiki/Sierra_Club" title="Sierra Club">Sierra Club</a> and other organizations renewed the call to dismantle the dam and drain Lake Powell in Lower Glen Canyon.

Each half of the Colorado River Basin—the Upper Basin, comprising Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming—and the Lower Basin, with California and Nevada—was allotted 7.5 million acre-feet (9.3 km3) of water annually,<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Treaty_relating_to_the_utilization_of_waters_of_the_Colorado_and_Tijuana_Rivers_and_of_the_Rio_Grande" title="Treaty relating to the utilization of waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande">Treaty relating to the utilization of waters of the Colorado and Tijuana Rivers and of the Rio Grande</a> was signed in 1944 allocating 1.5 million acre-feet (1.9 km3) to Mexico.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> The third lower basin state, Arizona, did not ratify the Compact until 1944 because it was concerned that California might seek to appropriate a portion of its share before it could be put to use.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> The total, 16.5 million acre-feet (20.4 km3), was based on only thirty years of streamflow records starting in the late 1890s. It was believed to represent the annual flow as measured at <a href="/wiki/Lee%27s_Ferry" class="mw-redirect" title="Lee's Ferry">Lee's Ferry, Arizona</a> (the official dividing point of the upper and lower basins), 16 miles (26 km) downstream of present-day Glen Canyon Dam. As it turned out, the early 20th century was one of the wettest periods in the last 800 years. The dependable natural flow past Lees Ferry is now believed to be about 13.5 to 14.6 million acre-feet (16.7 to 18.0 km3).<a href="#cite_note-fluct-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> The general consensus among inhabitants of the Colorado River basin and government officials was that a high dam had to be built on the Colorado to control floods and provide carry-over water storage for times of drought.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Possible locations for this dam were debated for years, and the Bureau of Reclamation's first study for a dam at Glen Canyon was made in 1924, in addition to studies for locations at <a href="/wiki/Black_Canyon_of_the_Colorado" title="Black Canyon of the Colorado">Black</a> and Boulder Canyons lower on the Colorado, below Grand Canyon.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> These studies found that the lower Colorado sites had stronger foundation rock which might result in less reservoir seepage. The Glen Canyon site was so remote that delivering supplies and transporting workers there would be infeasible at the time. The first Glen Canyon proposal lay upstream of the Lee's Ferry dividing line, and would be considered the Upper Basin's water. With its substantial Congressional clout, California refused to allow the "virtual faucets" of a Colorado River dam "to be built in what amounted to hostile territory."<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> With the Glen Canyon site out of the question, the initial need for a reservoir was realized in 1936 with the completion of <a href="/wiki/Hoover_Dam" title="Hoover Dam">Hoover Dam</a> in Black Canyon, storing 32 million acre-feet (39 km3) in the mammoth reservoir of <a href="/wiki/Lake_Mead" title="Lake Mead">Lake Mead</a>.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> It was not able to weather the worst floods or droughts, and was filling with sediment at a rate that would render it useless in a few hundred years.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> But most importantly, Hoover only controlled the lower portion of the river. The Upper Basin states, whose rivers remained undammed, had no way to ensure they could fulfill their delivery obligation to the Lower Basin states while retaining enough water for their own use. Without storage reservoirs of their own, the Upper Basin states risked a "call" on the Colorado River during drought years: they would be forced to use less water in order to keep the river flowing to Lake Mead and California, the state with the most senior water rights.<a href="#cite_note-CRSP-8">[8]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Colorado_River_Storage_Project">Colorado River Storage Project</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Glen_Canyon_Dam&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Colorado River Storage Project">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Colorado_river_dams.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="A map of the Colorado River Basin, with the locations of major dams indicated." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Colorado_river_dams.jpg/220px-Colorado_river_dams.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="285" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Colorado_river_dams.jpg/330px-Colorado_river_dams.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Colorado_river_dams.jpg/440px-Colorado_river_dams.jpg 2x" data-file-width="871" data-file-height="1130" /></a><figcaption>Map showing locations of major dams in the Colorado River Basin, with Glen Canyon near the center of the basin.</figcaption></figure> To provide water for the Upper Basin and ensure delivery to the Lower Basin, the Bureau of Reclamation proposed the <a href="/wiki/Colorado_River_Storage_Project" title="Colorado River Storage Project">Colorado River Storage Project</a>, which would consist of a dam on the Colorado River at Glen Canyon, several dams on the <a href="/wiki/Gunnison_River" title="Gunnison River">Gunnison River</a> and <a href="/wiki/San_Juan_River_(Colorado_River)" class="mw-redirect" title="San Juan River (Colorado River)">San Juan River</a>, and a pair of dams to be built on the <a href="/wiki/Green_River_(Colorado_River)" class="mw-redirect" title="Green River (Colorado River)">Green River</a>, the Colorado's major upper tributary, at <a href="/wiki/Echo_Park_(Colorado)" title="Echo Park (Colorado)">Echo Park</a> and Split Mountain.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> The 1956 Colorado River Storage Project Act authorized the purposes of "regulating the flow of the Colorado River, storing water for beneficial consumptive use, providing for reclamation of arid and semi-arid lands, providing flood control, and generating hydropower."<a href="#cite_note-CRSP-8">[8]</a> The proposal for Glen Canyon Dam was most vocally supported by the state of Arizona, which wished to get Colorado River water to <a href="/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona" title="Phoenix, Arizona">Phoenix</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tucson,_Arizona" title="Tucson, Arizona">Tucson</a>, located hundreds of miles away from the Colorado in the center of the state.

It said that building Echo Park Dam and a "low" Glen Canyon Dam would save 165 thousand acre-feet (0.204 km3) of water per year over a "high" Glen Canyon Dam (which was ultimately the version to be built).

Each of the tunnels was 41 feet (12 m) in diameter, with a combined capacity of 200,000 cubic feet per second (5,700 m3/s); the right-side tunnel was 2,740 feet (840 m) long and the left 2,900 feet (880 m).<a href="#cite_note-westernconstruction-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-64">[64]</a> The right tunnel would be used for carrying the Colorado's normal flow around the dam site, while the left tunnel, 33 feet (10 m) above the water, would only be used during floods. The lower reaches of the tunnels would later be used to form the lower ends of the dam's spillways.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> About 182,000 cubic yards (139,000 m3) of material would have to be excavated from the diversion tunnels.<a href="#cite_note-westernconstruction-55">[55]</a> On October 15, 1956, President <a href="/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower" title="Dwight D.

Initially, transport was done by barge from Wahweap Creek, but the fast current of the Colorado River could be dangerous. After a barge capsized, spilling tons of machinery into the river, a much safer cable-car system was installed.<a href="#cite_note-Rogers_22-68">[68]</a> During excavation, the rock frequently broke apart or "slabbed" and collapsed into the tunnels, and metal bolts had to be drilled into the rock to secure it. The largest such event, on August 5, 1958, sent 5,200 cubic yards (4,000 m3) crashing down onto the upper portal of the left diversion tunnel.<a href="#cite_note-Rogers_22-68">[68]</a> Material dug out of the tunnels and the dam abutments on the canyon walls was used to build the two <a href="/wiki/Cofferdam" title="Cofferdam">cofferdams</a> to divert the Colorado River, which were complete in February 1960. The upper cofferdam was 168 feet (51 m) high, and it alone could store several million acre-feet of water to protect the dam site from flooding in the event that inflows exceeded the capacity of the diversion tunnels. On February 11, 1959, the right diversion tunnel was completed and began to carry the flow of the Colorado. The left tunnel was finished over three months later on May 19, 1959, slightly behind schedule.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Concrete_placement_and_completion">Concrete placement and completion</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Glen_Canyon_Dam&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Concrete placement and completion">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1224211176" /><div class="quotebox pullquote floatright" style="width:35%; ;"> <blockquote class="quotebox-quote left-aligned" style=""> It looked as if they [Merritt-Chapman & Scott] were going to start losing money before they dropped a single man with a three-dollar shovel into that canyon.

The concrete was poured into modular 7.5-foot (2.3 m) high wooden blocks or "forms", the largest measuring up to 60 feet (18 m) by 210 feet (64 m);<a href="#cite_note-FAQ-73">[73]</a> more than 3,000 of these blocks made up the main structure of the dam.

I was within a few feet of his desk in Washington that day and witnessed how the forces long at work had their way. So a steel gate dropped, choking off the flow of the canyon's carotid artery, and from that moment the canyon's life force ebbed quickly. A huge reservoir, absolutely not needed in this century, almost certainly not needed in the next, and conceivably never to be needed at all, began to fill."<a href="#cite_note-restorationbrower-78">[78]</a> Construction continued and on September 13, 1963, the dam was topped out.<a href="#cite_note-Rogers25-76">[76]</a> Work on the power plant and spillways began directly after the dam wall was complete. The spillway tunnels were excavated around both abutments of the dam, dropping steeply from their control gates on Lake Powell to merge with the lower ends of the diversion tunnels. This measure saved cost, but introduced a weak point where the two tunnels intersected. The upper ends of the diversion tunnels were then sealed with solid concrete. The first electricity was generated on September 4, 1964, with the power sent into the regional electric grid through a pair of long-distance transmission lines as far as <a href="/wiki/Phoenix,_Arizona" title="Phoenix, Arizona">Phoenix, Arizona</a> and <a href="/wiki/Farmington,_New_Mexico" title="Farmington, New Mexico">Farmington, New Mexico</a>.<a href="#cite_note-construction-66">[66]</a> It took two more years to complete all remaining aspects of the project.

The original plan was to fill Lake Powell to 3,490 feet (1,060 m) above sea level, the minimum level necessary to generate hydroelectric power by late 1964, after which water would be released down to <a href="/wiki/Lake_Mead" title="Lake Mead">Lake Mead</a>, with only the excess stored in Lake Powell. The spring runoff in 1963 was the lowest on record in ten years.

Between 1963 and 1969, as much as 655,000 acre-feet (0.808 km3) leaked into the reservoir banks each year.<a href="#cite_note-bankstorage-85">[85]</a> Conversely, some of this "bank storage" flows back into the reservoir as springs and seeps when Lake Powell is low. Exactly how much of this water has potential to return to the reservoir, and how much "disappears" into the ground, is subject to debate.<a href="#cite_note-Myers2013-86">[86]</a> The Bureau of Reclamation projected that once Lake Powell filled, the total bank storage would stabilize at approximately 6 million acre-feet (7.4 km3), and henceforth would fluctuate depending on water levels in the reservoir.<a href="#cite_note-bankstorage-85">[85]</a> The actual loss was 13.4 million acre-feet (16.5 km3), twice the initial prediction, but river flow data indicates that further leakage after 1980 has been negligible.<a href="#cite_note-FAQ-73">[73]</a><a href="#cite_note-bankstorage-85">[85]</a> According to a 2013 study by hydrologist Thomas Myers for the <a href="/wiki/Glen_Canyon_Institute" title="Glen Canyon Institute">Glen Canyon Institute</a>, the reservoir continues to lose about 380,000 acre-feet (0.47 km3) each year due to leakage.<a href="#cite_note-Myers2013-86">[86]</a> According to USBR data for water year 2015 (a year when Lake Powell did not experience a significant overall gain or loss in volume), Lake Powell lost a total of 368,000 acre-feet (0.454 km3) to evaporation and only 8,000 acre-feet (0.0099 km3) to leakage.<a href="#cite_note-201524MonthStudy-87">[87]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_history">Later history</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Glen_Canyon_Dam&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Later history">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_1983_floods">The 1983 floods</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Glen_Canyon_Dam&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: The 1983 floods">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:GCDam.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Glen Canyon Dam releasing floodwater.

Snowfall during April and May was exceptionally heavy; this combined with a sudden rise in temperatures and unusual rainstorms in June to produce major flooding across the western United States.<a href="#cite_note-88">[88]</a> With Lake Powell nearly full, the USBR did not have enough time to draw down the reservoir to accommodate extra runoff. By mid-June, water was pouring into Lake Powell at over 120,000 cubic feet per second (3,400 m3/s). Even with the power plant and river <a href="/wiki/Outlet_works" class="mw-redirect" title="Outlet works">outlet works</a> running at full capacity, Lake Powell continued to rise to the point where the <a href="/wiki/Spillway" title="Spillway">spillways</a> had to be opened. Other than a brief test in 1980, this was the only time the spillways had ever been used.<a href="#cite_note-89">[89]</a> At the beginning of June, dam operators opened the gates on the left spillway, sending 10,000 cubic feet per second (280 m3/s), less than one-tenth of capacity, down the tunnel into the river below. After a few days, the entire dam suddenly began to shake violently. The spillway was closed down for inspections and workers discovered that the flow of water was causing <a href="/wiki/Cavitation" title="Cavitation">cavitation</a>—the explosive collapse of vacuum pockets in water moving at high speed—which was damaging the concrete lining and eroding the rock spillway tunnels from the upper ends of the diversion tunnels, which connect to the bottom of the reservoir.<a href="#cite_note-Powell14-90">[90]</a> This was rapidly being destroyed by the cavitation and it was feared that a connection would be made to the bottom of Lake Powell, compromising the dam's foundation and causing the dam to fail.<a href="#cite_note-Powell14-90">[90]</a> Meanwhile, snow continued melting in the Rockies and Lake Powell continued to rise rapidly. To delay having to use the spillways, the USBR installed plywood flashboards (later replaced by steel) atop the gates to increase the lake level.<a href="#cite_note-91">[91]</a> Even this additional capacity was exhausted; discharges through the left spillway reached 32,000 cubic feet per second (910 m3/s), and the right spillway was opened to 15,000 cubic feet per second (420 m3/s). At Lee's Ferry, the Colorado River peaked at 97,300 cubic feet per second (2,760 m3/s), which was and still is the highest water flow recorded there since the dam was built.<a href="#cite_note-92">[92]</a> On July 14, Lake Powell reached 3,708.34 feet (1,130.30 m) elevation, a level that has not been exceeded since.<a href="#cite_note-93">[93]</a> Just as it seemed inevitable that the dam would fail, inflows fell and the dam was saved. Upon inspection, it was found that cavitation had caused massive gouging damage to both spillways, carrying away thousands of tons of concrete, steel rebar and huge chunks of rock.<a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a> Repairs to the spillways commenced as soon as possible and continued well into 1984. Air slots were installed at the bottom of each spillway to break up and absorb the shock of the bubbles formed by cavitation. In 1984, the Colorado River basin produced even more runoff than 1983, peaking at 148,000 cubic feet per second (4,200 m3/s) in early June.<a href="#cite_note-95">[95]</a> This time, the USBR had drawn down the reservoir enough that it absorbed most of the early high flows. Nevertheless, Lake Powell rapidly approached the top of the spillway gates and construction efforts were subsequently focused on the left spillway in order to get it in operation in time. On August 12, the left spillway gates were opened, releasing water at a rate of 50,000 cubic feet per second (1,400 m3/s). The spillway was undamaged, proving the worth of the re-engineering and suggesting that Glen Canyon Dam will also be able to hold against future floods with the magnitude of 1983.<a href="#cite_note-96">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-97">[97]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Continuing_debates">Continuing debates</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Glen_Canyon_Dam&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Continuing debates">edit</a>]</div> Long after the Glen Canyon Dam was built and continuing to the present day, controversy remains between supporters of dam removal and those who believe it should be left in place.

Although Lake Powell loses water to evaporation and leakage, it continues to serve an important function capturing runoff during wet years, as "insurance" for droughts.<a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a> During the 2000–2004 Colorado River drought, when the basin experienced its lowest five-year runoff on record, Lake Mead would likely have gone dry and the Lower Basin experienced massive cuts, were it not for releases from Lake Powell.<a href="#cite_note-111">[111]</a><a href="#cite_note-112">[112]</a> Lake Powell and Lake Mead are currently operated under an "equalization" policy that governs releases from Glen Canyon Dam. In order to maintain hydropower generation at both Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams, the lakes must be kept at approximately the same level. By spreading out the water, evaporation is greatly increased. Since the year 2000, Lake Mead has steadily declined toward the critical level at which a shortage would be declared for the Lower Basin states. A plan called "Fill Mead First", which would drain Lake Powell in order to refill Lake Mead, has gained traction in recent years. Glen Canyon Dam would remain in place (as total removal of the structure would be prohibitively expensive), but would only store water in wet seasons when runoff exceeds the capacity of Lake Mead to hold it.<a href="#cite_note-113">[113]</a><a href="#cite_note-114">[114]</a> Much of the opposition to this plan is along political lines: Lake Powell is legally considered the Upper Basin's water, and Lake Mead belongs to the Lower Basin. The Friends of Lake Powell have called this an attempt to steal water from the Upper Basin, to avoid a shortage in the Lower Basin.<a href="#cite_note-115">[115]</a> The Upper Basin has released 107% of its obligation from Lake Powell since 2000;<a href="#cite_note-117">[n 1]</a> therefore, falling levels in Lake Mead are a result of water overuse and waste in the Lower Basin states<a href="#cite_note-118">[117]</a> – a "structural deficit".<a href="#cite_note-119">[118]</a> There are also arguments for storing water in Powell: Lake Mead, with its much lower elevation and hotter climate, has a considerably greater evaporation rate than Lake Powell.<a href="#cite_note-120">[119]</a> In addition, a 1983 study by Larry J.

The green, clear water is caused by the dam trapping sediment, which would naturally cause the river to have a reddish-brown color.</figcaption></figure> Because of its tremendous ecological effect on the Colorado River, the Glen Canyon Dam has been subject to decades of criticism from the environmental movement. Being located in a high desert climate amid porous geology, Lake Powell causes huge evaporation and seepage losses. The Glen Canyon Institute estimates that 860,000 acre-feet (1.06 km3) is lost from the reservoir in an average year.<a href="#cite_note-water_supply_and_lake_powell-146">[145]</a> This amounts to 6 percent of the Colorado River's flow, an increasingly valuable amount of water in an arid land for both humans and the animals and plants that live along the river.<a href="#cite_note-water_supply_and_lake_powell-146">[145]</a> (This amount greatly decreases when Lake Powell is low; with the reservoir about half full in water year 2015, evaporation was 368,000 acre-feet (0.454 km3).)<a href="#cite_note-201524MonthStudy-87">[87]</a> Like all dams, Glen Canyon traps <a href="/wiki/Sediment" title="Sediment">sediment</a> (silt), but because the Colorado is an especially muddy river, the dam has posed even more visible consequences for the river within the Grand Canyon. About 100 million US tons (90,700,000 metric tons) of sediment are trapped behind the dam annually, equal to about 30,000 dump truck loads per day.<a href="#cite_note-147">[146]</a> Because of the dam, sediment deposited by the Colorado and its tributaries is slowly filling up the canyon, and projections put the useful life of the reservoir at 300 to 700 years.<a href="#cite_note-148">[147]</a><a href="#cite_note-orionmagazine-149">[148]</a> If no action is taken such as <a href="/wiki/Dredging" title="Dredging">dredging</a> or sediment <a href="/wiki/Sluice" title="Sluice">sluicing</a>, in a few hundred years, sediment deposits will begin to build up at the foot of the dam and will gradually block the different outlets, reducing the dam's capacity to store and release water. Thus, it would become more difficult to maintain the required release of 8.23 million acre-feet (10.15 km3) below the dam. The Colorado River would reduce to a trickle in dry seasons as it naturally did before the dam was built, potentially compromising the water supply of the Lower Basin states.<a href="#cite_note-orionmagazine-149">[148]</a> The Colorado through Grand Canyon now lacks the source of sediment it needs to build <a href="/wiki/Sandbar" class="mw-redirect" title="Sandbar">sandbars</a> and islands, and these natural fluvial formations within the canyon have now suffered severe damage from erosion. The floods that once scoured the river each year are now contained behind the dam except in extraordinary cases such as 1983–84; the lack of floods has promoted vegetation encroachment which not only has considerably changed the <a href="/wiki/Riparian_zone" title="Riparian zone">riparian zone</a> environment but has created problems for tourism, as hikers and boaters often cannot find good spots to camp due to overgrowth. Flood control has also caused an inability of the river to carry away the <a href="/wiki/Rockslide" title="Rockslide">rockslides</a> that are common along the canyons, leading to the creation of incrementally dangerous <a href="/wiki/Rapids" title="Rapids">rapids</a> that pose a hazard to fish and boaters alike. Before damming, the Colorado commonly reached flows of more than 100,000 cubic feet per second (2,800 m3/s) during the spring; this has been limited to less than 25,000 cubic feet per second (710 m3/s) most years with few exceptions.<a href="#cite_note-150">[149]</a><a href="#cite_note-151">[150]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="The Glen Canyon Dam and bridge, seen from the calm surface of the river at its base." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg/220px-Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg/330px-Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg/440px-Glen_Canyon_Dam_2522.jpg 2x" data-file-width="5184" data-file-height="3456" /></a><figcaption>The Colorado River is now much calmer and colder than before the dam was built.</figcaption></figure> Before the dam was built, Colorado River temperatures ranged from over 80 °F (27 °C) in the heat of summer to just above freezing in winter.

Ghiglieri, many drowning deaths by boaters in the Grand Canyon have been caused or exacerbated by rapid hypothermia and hypothermic shock caused by entering the cold water. He further described that during the record post-dam high-flow season of 1983 (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#The_1983_floods">mentioned above</a>), there was only one boating fatality in the canyon, providing a strong challenge to views that the dam, by reducing and mediating river flows, increases the safety of canyon river users.<a href="#cite_note-Ghiglieri211-155">[154]</a> The river water temperature in 1983 was significantly higher than normal, due to a large portion of the water having come from overflows of warmer surface water over the spillways of Glen Canyon Dam, rather than the colder lower levels which feed the penstocks.<a href="#cite_note-Ghiglieri211-155">[154]</a> Glen Canyon Dam has also impacted the Colorado River well downstream of the Grand Canyon. When the gates of the dam were closed in 1963, the resulting reductions in river flow effectively dried up the <a href="/wiki/Colorado_River_Delta" title="Colorado River Delta">Colorado River Delta</a>, the large <a href="/wiki/Estuary" title="Estuary">estuary</a> formed by the Colorado River at the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_of_California" title="Gulf of California">Gulf of California</a> (Sea of Cortez) in Mexico.

In 2014 an intentional "pulse flow" was released into the delta to restore some of these wetlands; the viability of such flows have been controversial, considering the already high demand for Colorado River water.<a href="#cite_note-157">[156]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Restoration_efforts">Restoration efforts</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Glen_Canyon_Dam&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Restoration efforts">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="View from above of a high water release into the Colorado River." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg/220px-Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg/330px-Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg/440px-Glen_Canyon_Dam_HFE.jpg 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="400" /></a><figcaption>River outlet works are open during high flow experiment in December 2012.</figcaption></figure> On March 26, 1996, the <a href="/wiki/Penstock" title="Penstock">penstocks</a> and two of the outlet works' bypass tubes at Glen Canyon Dam were opened to maximum capacity, causing a flood of 45,000 cubic feet per second (1,300 m3/s) to move down the Colorado River. This was the first of the Glen Canyon Adaptive Management Program "high flow experiments", a controlled effort to assist the recovery of the damaged riverine ecosystem by mimicking the floods that once swept through the canyons each spring.<a href="#cite_note-158">[157]</a> The flow appeared to have scoured clean numerous pockets of encroaching vegetation, carried away rockslides that had become dangerous to boaters, and rearranged sand and gravel bars along the river, and was initially believed to be an environmental success. However, in the following months it was discovered that the initial results were misleading.<a href="#cite_note-159">[158]</a><a href="#cite_note-160">[159]</a> Crews working in the Grand Canyon after the 1996 experiment found that the offensive vegetation had not been carried away as previously thought – only buried – and had mostly recovered within six months.
