Description
The Colorado River's water supply is a complex and fascinating topic. David Owen takes readers on an adventure downriver to explore how this essential resource is managed and what it means for our future. From the river's headwaters to its terminus, where it runs dry near the US-Mexico border, Owen reveals the intricate web of engineering marvels, legal agreements, aging infrastructure, and neighborly cooperation that enables life to flourish in the desert. He shows how a patchwork of these elements can have disastrous consequences when they fail. This account is crucial to understanding our relationship with water and the challenges we face in managing this vital resource.
