Officials said at a press conference Monday night that an alert system had been installed in Bright Angel Creek, where the weekend's catastrophic flash flooding occurred.

flooding → say → Creek

mountainsides → instal → disaster
The system is made up of a series of river gauges, designed to send out an alert when water levels in the creek reach a certain point.

levels → make → point
Brian Drapeaux, acting superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park, said the system did alert officials to rising levels in the creek on Saturday.

system → act → Saturday
But it proceeded to "go offline" as the situation "progressed down the creek and picked up speed and destructive force," he added.
asserted
he → proceed → speed
Drapeaux said whether the alert gauges were knocked out by floodwaters or something else was still unclear.
uncertain
knocked → say → floodwaters
"They were working and then they weren't working," he said.
asserted
he → work → ?
"We're not sure why – whether it was the debris flow that knocked them out of service or whether it was some other factor that put them offline."

"Ground around us started flooding up and filling with water coming off of the canyon," said Kramer.

The flash floods also severely damaged the major water pipeline in the park, which means there is only about two weeks of water left as the area enters peak wildfire season, according to officials.
uncertain
area → damage → officials
