Flowing Uphill with the Colorado River
The Colorado River Basin has been held in the grip of a mega drought for the past 25 years. The southwest hasn't been this dry for 1200 years and it is likely to get worse with climate change and increasing aridification. We ook at what is going on, how we got here and where we are going. We'll also be talking with many of the key players on the river as well as those who want to change how we both manage and even see the river.

Here I talk about the early history of the Colorado River, from the indiginous people who made their homes here to the early explorers and settlers. I also talk about the beginnings of what is now established Western water law and development on the river and the Colorado River Basin.
