Stranded ramp at Hite Marina on Lake Powell. |
It's not a matter of if, but when, the Colorado River plumbing
system will collapse. Water supply and power generation for metropolitan
areas from Los Angeles to Denver will be affected, as well as the region's

of water that can be stored in the basin's reservoirs provide a cushion
in times of moderate reductions in river flows, but as is presently being
experienced, are no match for a sustained drought.
