Lake Mead and power upstream along the Colorado River
Historically, the flow of the Colorado River has varied dramatically from season to season and year to year, sometimes overflowing its banks and other times reduced to a mere trickle. (Though flows still fluctuate, they are far less extreme than what historically occurred.) Overall, the popular sentiment at the time Glen Canyon Dam was built was to harness the power of the river, not only to prevent flooding, but to create a stable water supply for a rapidly growing human population in a semiarid region at the mercy of droughts.

Holding an average of 26 million acre-feet (enough water to supply one quarter of the United States for a year, or about two years of total average flows for the Colorado River), Lake Powell, named after famed Colorado River explorer John Wesley Powell, is the second-largest (the first is Lake Mead at over 28 million acre-feet) artificially created body of water in North America. Extending 186 miles up the Colorado River and 75 miles up the San Juan River, the reservoir boasts 1,960 miles of shoreline – a haven for recreational boaters, campers, hikers and fishermen. But more importantly, it serves as a way for the Upper Basin states of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming to meet their obligations under the 1922 Colorado River Compact that divides the river among seven states.
Lake Tarpon is the largest lake in Pinellas County with a surface area of four square miles. Its watershed encompasses fifty-two square miles including the two largest tributaries, Cow Branch (South Creek) and Brooker Creek. The lake is a valuable regional recreational destination and is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing. Historically, Lake Tarpon was considered to have excellent water quality. A large algae bloom erupted in 1987, covering 80% of the lake's surface

Southwest. The areas with good to excellent water supply were the Rio Grande basin of New Mexico, the Salt River basin of Arizona, and most of Texas.


The Colorado River supplies water to seven states (Arizona, Colorado, California, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Nevada) in addition to Mexico. Since the early 1900's, water distribution rights have been in contention. And starting in 1922, the distribution and management of Colorado River water has been governed by a complex body of laws, court decrees, compacts and an international treaty.

The name Mississippi is derived from the Algonquin Indian term Mes-cheseepik which means “big water”, so it is no surprise that the river bearing this name is the largest in the United States. This same Algonquin term was used in naming another large body of water in the United States – the Chesapeake Bay.
After winding its way south through America’s heartland, the Mississippi River separates into many channels before reaching the Gulf of Mexico
