The Colorado River provides water for 30 million people.
Because it is so heavily tapped for agriculture, industry, and municipal uses along its course, the Colorado River rarely reaches its delta and the Gulf of California. About one-tenth of the river’s former flow now makes it to Mexico, where most of that is used for farming and cities .

What better way to celebrate spring?
Happy Earth Day, everyone.

Happy Earth Day, everyone.
