This week, we’re hearing “Where the River Ends,” a three-part series from our partners at KUNC, exploring the final 100 miles of the Colorado River. In their last installment, they visit two sites that were intentionally created as a way to bring both water and life back to the region.

This week, we’re hearing “Where the River Ends,” a three-part series from our partners at KUNC. The Colorado River delta is shaped by geographical and political boundaries. It lies on the U.S-Mexico border, and its fate is controlled by people on both sides. Nowhere is that more apparent than at the site of an accidental wetland.

This week, we hear a three-part series from our partners at KUNC titled “Where the River Ends.” Because cities and farms in the southwest rely so heavily on the Colorado River, its last 100 miles in northern Mexico run dry. It’s a clear illustration that every drop of the river is spoken for. Tune in and learn more.
