The LPP Keeps Water in the Green and Colorado Rivers
Currently the state of Utah has the right to take its water from the Green River immediately below Flaming Gorge Dam. Under the LPP, the state proposes to take its water just above Glen Canyon Dam, ensuring that up to 83,756 acre feet of water will continue to flow more than 400 miles downstream through valuable riparian and fish habitat in the Colorado River system.
