See the water gushing from Arizona reservoirs after heavy storms

Salt River Project is releasing excess storm runoff that is filling reservoirs on the Verde River, making room for more water from the Halloween weekend storms. Up to 403,000 gallons of water per second were sent coursing into the Salt and Verde rivers from Horseshoe and Bartlett lakes east of Phoenix. Both reservoirs were nearing capacity after the storms. The water flowed into the normally dry Salt River through Phoenix and some of it will reach the Gila River in the southwest Valley. It could be seen flowing over the Tempe Town Lake dam at times, into the riverbed. Water from the releases is up for grabs by cities, farmers and irrigation companies., and it will also help recharge the aquifers. Further north, storm runoff into the Colorado River continued to push water levels higher at Lake Powell, the drought-stricken reservoir on the Arizona-Utah border. The lake has gained nearly 14 feet of elevation since Oct. 1, in part from the heavy rains.

The 2026 Southwest floods: A look at reservoir gains and damage

Extreme flooding in the Southwest foreshadows a wild El Niño winter

The Southwest just got way too much of a good thing. Last weekend, a ferocious storm inundated communities and killed at least four people. Though precipitation is an essential component of Arizona’s desert climate, the state got two or three months’ worth of it in just a few days — far more than human infrastructure could handle all at once. Since September 20, an astonishing 28.84 inches of rain has fallen on Clovis, New Mexico, compared to its historical average of just 3.3 inches.
