The River Radius Podcast

Autopsy of a Post Reservoir River


Listen Later

Is it a reservoir in crisis or a river recovering?   In October of 2021 a crew of river scientist and river runners and this podcast traveled down Cataract Canyon to examine a retreating reservoir and a recovering river.  As Lake Powell dips below 30% of full, the Colorado River is cutting through the decades of reservoir sediment.  What is in the sediment?  On top of it?  What is next?
