Zócalo Public Square

Over 30 million people rely on the Colorado River for water—for purposes ranging from drinking to agriculture to power plants. But scientists predict that the river isn’t going to produce the amount of water it did in the past—or does today. At an ASU/Zócalo event at ASU Colleges at Lake Havasu City, Lake Havasu City water resources coordinator Doyle Wilson, Arizona Municipal Water Users Association executive director Kathleen Ferris, and Nature Conservancy Colorado River program director Taylor Hawes talked with the Arizona Republic's Shaun McKinnon about what steps must be taken to ensure that the Colorado River survives.
