Colorado River - I Am Red
The Colorado River is a lifeline in the desert, its water sustaining tens of millions of people in seven states, as well as endangered fish and wildlife. However, demand on the river's water now exceeds its supply, leaving the river so over-tapped that it no longer flows to the sea. (Video by Pete McBride. Flights by Lighthawk, Ecoflight.)

Colorado River
The Colorado River is one of the West’s most important rivers, but water use has been outstripping supply for years. Difficult decisions lie ahead as the climate warms and the basin’s population grows.

The Colorado River | Full Episode
Colorado River - Jack and Colton are in Western Colorado: a high desert wilderness made up of colorful sandstone cliffs, canyons, mountains, mesas, and most importantly - the Colorado River. Fun fact: the Colorado River is a vital source of water for 40 million people in the United States of America. It’s mostly known for its dramatic canyons, whitewater rapids, and the 11 national parks it cuts across. In the early 1900’s, a man by the name of John Otto became the first custodian of the National Monument. Because of Otto's efforts, lobbyists pushed to make the area a national park. On May 24, 1911, the area was designated as the Colorado National Monument, and because of that, we get to enjoy it today.

Take a 1,450 mile journey along the Colorado River
The Colorado River is so much more than something we raft and fish in. Millions of people in the western U.S. drink water that comes from the river. Millions more use electricity generated by hydroelectric power plants along the rivers 1,450-mile course. Most of the produce on our table is grown using water from the river and its tributaries. When you think about it, the Colorado River is so much more than just a river, its a lifeline for the southwestern U.S. In the Denver7 special presentation Colorado River: Lifeline of the West, hosts Lisa Hidalgo and Eric Lupher share the story of a river that has shaped the landscape for millions of years but is now having itself reshaped by people trying to harness its power.

From Hope to Reality: The Colorado River Flows to the Sea
The Colorado River estuary is a world-class treasure, and the cost of restoring it is small compared to its value. With collaboration, hard work, data and thoughtful efforts our hopes are becoming reality–and can be applied to estuaries around the world!

Why The American West Is Running Out Of Water - Cheddar Explains
You’ve probably heard of droughts and wildfires in California, of groundwater drying up in Arizona, and of entire communities, like those on the Navajo Nation, that have been left without running water. The region is finally coming to terms with decades of infrastructure projects, coupled with using more water than nature can provide, as the threat of climate change moves in. Cheddar explains why the American West is running out of water.

Bringing the Colorado River Delta Back to Life After 16 Dry Years
In the spring of 2014, for the first time in 16 years, water was released into the dry bed of the Colorado River Delta, and it reached all the way to the Sea of Cortez. But it didn't last for long.
Pete McBride, river advocates, and scientists were there to document the natural wonder of this historic event, as well as the pure joy this brought to Mexican communities who live on the Colorado Delta. This film is proof that nature isn't gone, it’s simply waiting for us to give it a chance.
"Delta Dawn" won the best short film award at the 2014 Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival.
