Someone else could do a far better job. The Design Concepts: a presentation which marks the entire path of the Colorado River upstream to La Poudre Pass Lake in a section of the Rocky Mountains (a whole Mountain Range and system spanning several states). Many might be unclear as to exactly where the Colorado originates, how the La Poudre Pass Lake in turn receives water into its basin, and the origins of Lake Mead. Someone like Jay would be able to do a better design using tools such as Google Earth and such with everything clearly mapped out for all. From the section of the Rocky Mountains, downstream to La Poudre Pass Lake, downstream into the Colorado River and into the natural canyon basin of "Lake Mead", and further downstream towards the Hoover Dam, where you obviously observe much lower water levels. Such a presentation would ideally avoid any political opinion on the merits of dam construction in civil engineering and its perceived environmental impacts and focus solely on the facts: water depth level, water flow rate, the soil and sediment, and trending changes overtime, the dead pool alert, limit, and threshold levels from a geotechnical perspective. Discussion on changes to the water level should be nuanced and scientific without any politics as we investigate the cause of the declining waters.
