ABSTRACT
On 31 January 2003, the US National Park Service released a statement indicating that it has closed another boat ramp on Lake Powell, the most popular recreation lake in the state of Utah. The ramp closure, the third of six ramps to be closed since 2002, was in response to very low water levels (24.3 metres below fill level). The pessimistic state of affairs prompted one environmental reporter to ponder, ‘Lake Powell, where have you gone?’
