RE: Environmental Issues: The Colorado River
Oh the Grand Canyon, so beautiful! When we visited it was almost overwhelming, hard to believe something so majestic exists. We love Arizona, it was a close 1st choice in where we would retire. It's still not off our list, lol I have to say though, water was a big issue for us. It's really scary when you know where the water is "allocated" from the Colorado River. The farmers in California need their water for the crops, not sure what the answer is but it's really scary (and as you said controversial!) Fabulous pictures, makes me miss it! Looking forward to your next installment @bigtom13.
I love Arizona. Absolutely love it. It's a place of big spaces and that suits me just fine.
The battle is about to be joined. Again. The Colorado River Compact is due to expire in 2025. The negotiations have begun and everybody wants more. There are 7 states (two in Mexico) and two countries involved. It's complicated :)
Something of the Grand Canyon lives in me. It's not exactly a place to me, but a state of being.
