A set of four tubes known as the "river outlet works," pictured on Nov. 2, 2022, could soon be the only way for water to make it through Glen Canyon Dam. Recently-discovered damage to those tubes has raised questions about their role going forward.

Newly discovered damage to part of the dam holding back America’s second-largest reservoir has people who rely on the Colorado River worried about their ability to get the water they need.
