One of the many intriguing questions in Western water issues is
the fate of the Colorado River Delta. The subject of extensive
consultation at the local, state, national and international
levels, the Delta is a beguiling place that is either at the cusp
of rejuvenation or teetering toward oblivion, depending on who’s
consulted. Left forgotten for decades as Colorado River water was
sent to farms and growing cities, the Delta today shows glimmers
of its legacy – a promise of restoration that has spurred people
in the United States and Mexico to seek a renewed vision of its
future.
