Lake Havasu (/ ˈ h ɑː v ə s uː /) is a large reservoir formed by Parker Dam on the Colorado River, on the border between San Bernardino County, California, and Mohave County, Arizona. Lake Havasu City sits on the Arizonan side of the lake with its Californian counterpart of Havasu Lake directly across the lake.
At Iron Mountain, the water is again lifted, 144 ft (44 m). The aqueduct then turns southwest towards the Eagle Mountains. There the water is lifted two more times, first by 438 ft (134 m) to an elevation of more than 1,400 ft (430 m), then by 441 ft (134 m) to an elevation of 1,800 ft (550 m) above sea level.

Long-term water level decline continued, forcing an emergency release of water from the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in July 2021. [10] and by April 22, 2022, Lake Powell was at 3,522.24 feet (1,073.58 m) in elevation – just 22.88% of capacity. This marks the lowest water level for Lake Powell since it was filled in 1963. [11]
Members of the Local Environmental Action Demanded (LEAD) Agency, an area advocacy group, worry that raising the water level will make flooding worse at the lake's upstream rivers.
The Hayden-Rhodes Aqueduct, which carries water from Lake Havasu to the Phoenix area, includes three tunnels totaling 8.2 miles. [9] The CAP partly funded the Brock Reservoir project with $28.6 million. In return for its contribution, Arizona has been awarded 100,000 acre-feet (120,000,000 m 3) of water per year since 2016.
