Report lists Grand Canyon's Colorado River as most imperiled
According to conservation outfit American Rivers, the section of the
Colorado River flowing through the Grand Canyon is most endangered
freshwater way in the United States.
Every year since 1984, American Rivers puts out its "America's Most
Endangered Rivers" report. This year's report lists threats like harmful
human development, groundwater depletion and uranium mines as just a
few of the reasons why one of North America's most iconic stretches of
river tops the 2015 list. It's the third year in a row the Colorado has
held the dubious distinction.
