The Upper Colorado River has secured a spot on America’s Most Endangered Rivers list, released today by American Rivers.
The threat of two new water diversion projects that could “sap the life from the Upper Colorado” was a main reason the river was chosen for the report’s No. 6 spot.
“The most endangered river listings get the attention of media and policy-makers,” said Randy Scholfield, spokesperson of Trout Unlimited’s Western Water Project. “It does help to highlight some of the threats facing these rivers and helps them get the grassroots support they need.”
