River Report: Devoted to Colorado River issues

The vast Colorado River Basin was the focus of River Report, the Foundation’s biannual newsletter that explored issues surrounding the lifeline of the Southwest and those that share its water – the seven western states, Mexico and numerous American Indian tribes. Launched in 1998, River Report traced the saga of sharing surpluses and shortages, restoring endangered fish and the Colorado River Delta, and issues related to drought, urban growth and climate change. Coverage of the Colorado River Basin was folded into our online Western Water news starting in 2018.
