Glen Canyon, Damn

Lake Powell, when the majority of people think of Lake Powell they think of Water Skiing and House Boats. The funny things is that Glen Canyon Dam, which caused Lake Powell was not just made for recreation, it was also made to generate electrical power, as well as storing water for the arid southwestern United States. But has this dam really served as a good thing? David Brower the Executive Director of the Sierra Club said, "Glen Canyon died, and I was partly responsible for its needless death. Neither you nor I, nor anyone else, knew it well enough to insist that at all costs it should endure. When we began to find out, it was too late."
