New Layperson’s Guide to the Colorado River Basin

The Water Education Foundation’s 10th edition of the Layperson’s Guide to the Colorado River Basin is hot off the press and available for purchase.

Updated and redesigned, the 28-page guide is a solid, easy-to-read primer on one of the world’s most dramatic and developed rivers.

The guide covers the environmental, agricultural, tribal and recreational interests tied to the river that sustains more than 40 million people and millions of acres across seven states and parts of northern Mexico.

Learn how the river is managed and about its challenges, especially as the Southwest transitions to a hotter and drier climate.

The guide is available to purchase for $18 through the Foundation’s website. For questions and bulk orders at a discounted price, email Kayla Sergent.
