Colorado River

The Colorado River is a major waterway in the southwestern United States, flowing over 1,400 miles through states like Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Mexico. It is known for its stunning canyons, including the Grand Canyon. The river is crucial for providing water to millions of people and for agriculture in a dry region. Due to its importance, it has been heavily managed through dams and reservoirs, like the Hoover Dam. However, overuse and drought have raised concerns about its sustainability and the need for careful water management to meet future demands.
