SUPPLEMENTAL READINGS
- Click here to learn a little more about the Colorado River in its
current situation as a follow up to our Cadillac Desert viewing. In the
documentary The American Southwest: Are We Running Dry?,
filmmaker Jim Thebaut looks at the state of the Southwest's water and
if there will be enough to go around. He examines stressed water
sources like the Colorado River, the Rio Grande and the Sacramento-
San Joaquin river system in California, as well as Lake Powell, which
straddles Utah and Arizona on the Colorado River, and Lake Mead,
also on the Colorado, between Nevada and Arizona.
- Go to an article on how a dam near the May '08 earthquake in China
could have added to the stresses that caused the quake.
