Unnatural Wonder: Colorado River

This spring DynamicSolutions | DCCM’s own Steve Sanborn joined a Colorado River trip through the Grand Canyon. On the trip happened to be two journalists from The Arizona Republic working on a story about the effects of regulated flows on the Colorado River’s ecosystem. The reporters put together a great story and video, which uses footage and thoughts from Steve’s trip, about the challenges the river faces and efforts to revitalize the ecosystem.

"A river once wild, muddy and warm now flows cold and clear, every drop measured out to supply cities and farms downstream. Water levels ebb and flow hourly, erasing the spring surges and summer droughts innate in desert rivers. Scientists manage nature’s cycles, adding what was lost, nursing what remains."
