There are three main forces driving the conflict on the Colorado River. The first is an outdated legal system that guarantees more water to seven Western states than is actually available in the river during most years. The second is the exclusion of Native American tribes from this legal system, which has deprived many tribes of water usage for decades. The third is climate change, which is heating up the western U.S. and diminishing the winter snowfall and rainwater that feed the river.

The Colorado River could get a big boost from a tiny hydro plant. Here’s how that impacts everyone.

Crucial Glen Canyon Dam tubes damaged, face uncertain future
Arizona water officials are concerned that a series of important steel tubes buried well underneath Glen Canyon Dam were damaged from an experiment in releasing extra water and sediment through the dam to restore long-eroded beaches in the Grand Canyon. The experimental high release of water occurred a year ago, but it appears Arizona officials only learned of the damage to the tubes less than two months ago. If the tubes cant be used when the Colorado River is at very low elevations, no river water.
