Report lists Grand Canyon's Colorado River as most imperiled

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.
