We told you the pulse flow was working! 

Check out this extraordinary image from NASA. The first image was taken in April 2013, and the second was taken in April 2014 – a few weeks after the pulse flow event. If you play with the slider (which we definitely did), you can see the river bed filling out with green. 

Did we mention how cool that is? So cool.

In an era of light pollution, here are the darkest skies in the American West. Many of them are hot spots for dark-sky tourism – people visiting to see stars that are obscured by lights in their hometowns.

If you’re looking for some place beautiful to admire the starry night sky, may we humbly suggest the Colorado River Delta? Judging by this map, it has virtually no light pollution. And if the pulse flow continues to be successful, it’ll have a lovely river to sit by, as well. 

Taylor Hawes is Silk’s 2014 Water Hero

Silk, a division of WhiteWave Foods, chose our own Taylor Hawes as their “2014 Water Hero” and created this cute animated video to announce it! This video is part of their YAY Water! campaign launched this month to raise awareness for water issues and conservation.

America’s Most Endangered Rivers of 2013

This is the year to put the Colorado River on the path to recovery.

We couldn’t agree more. And already this year the Colorado River has begun to recover. We’ve already seen promising results from the pulse flow last month, an we’re hopeful that the next few months will bring even more measures.
