Join us in celebrating Colorado River Day by watching WATERSHED. July 25, 2018 is the 97th anniversary of this day in 1921 when U.S. federal legislation was passed to officially re-name the river from the \u201cGrande<\/em>\u201d to the \u201cColorado<\/em>\u201d. We now commemorate this day by encouraging people to come together across divides in support of maintaining a sustainable Colorado River.<\/div>\n
