Water released out of Glen Canyon Dam

[Mojo1]

One thing to note is that in a "natural river" every spring the river blows out, and the eddys are where the sand is deposited. These become the lovely beaches the rafter crowd likes to camp on. Without the floods, over time the sand all blows back in to the river and washes downstream. By flooding they hope to renovate the beaches and sand bars that are home to some of the species in question. They also hope to provide nice sandy beaches for people to enjoy.

We have experienced the same issue on the Snake River in Idaho, but there can be no flooding to renovate the beaches, as it would wash towns away. We call it progress.
