(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Due to the low water levels at Lake Powell, kayakers have to haul their boats another 30 to 50 yards to the water past the unusable Antelope Public Launch Ramp on Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021. Declining flows on the Colorado River have resulted in an official declaration of a shortage, triggering cuts in water deliveries to Arizona, Nevada and California.
