Navajo Lake water levels have risen following a period of drought that saw the lake drop to its lowest level since 2004. Recent storms caused the lake to rise, with one day seeing an increase of over 16 inches. The lake had previously fallen within 14 feet of deadpooling, the point where water cannot enter the irrigation system.
