RE: Adsactly Education - Colorado River

in #education6 years ago (edited)

The Colorado River is truly the country's largest water artery. Her beauty and greatness are admired. Moreover, the river is used for the needs of agriculture and brings great benefits to the entire industry. But of course, the Colorado River acts as a natural sight and attracts many tourists with its beauties.
However, your remark about that: "Not a single drop of the Colorado River water reaches the ocean." As Delta dies, local weather changes." sound sad. But the facts are such that people are self-centered and until the changes do not personally touch them (the water will not cease to flow from the tap) they will not take concrete measures. If to speak more globally the situation with drying up of the rivers and lakes is actual in different parts of the planet. People need to solve these problems before it's too late.
Thanks for the interesting post!

It is certainly not the largest by flow. The Columbia flows about 20x at the mouth, but it is much the largest by the number of people that use it for personal use. There are a couple of measures to revive the Delta being discussed, but those take a back seat to drinking water and agricultural water.
