3:45 am
177 feet higher than it is now. >> if the lake continues to keep going down at the rate that it is, it's pretty scary situation. >> reporter: what do you predict about the future of this business you got? >> i would say that we got five years left. >> reporter: and then your business is done? >> yep. >> reporter: houseboats are already running out of room. 11 of lake powell's 12 boat ramps are closed because they can't reach the water. if the lake keeps falling, the glen canyon dam won't be able to produce hydro power, impacting the electricity supply for more than five million people in six states. last month, the assistant secretary of the interior warned western governors of profound concerns in operating the dam at lower lake levels, and that the western electrical grid would experience uncertain risk and instability. >> i'm very concerned. >> reporter: brian hill is general manager of page utilities. the arizona town used to get 50%

3:48 am
it's like a dead forest coming out of the water. >> yeah, we call them ghost forests. >> reporter: forests once drowned on the canyon floor are reappearing. new plants and trees are starting to grow nearby, and balken says ancient foot holds from indigenous people who climbed here more than a thousand years ago can now be seen. >> as more and more of these incredible one-of-a-kind features come out of water, there is no reason they shouldn't be protected. >> reporter: balken wants glen canyon to become a national park, part of a movement to drain lake powell and fill up lake mead, since both reservoirs are at critically low levels. the purpose of the reservoir was to store excess water, and we're in a place now where excess water is a thing of the past. the rate of change that we're seeing now is happening way faster than i ever thought it would. which is startling in some ways, but it also gives me a lot of hope because we're seeing so much come back. >> reporter: because right now this is both a reservoir on life support and a lost canyon being reborn.
