Commentary: Goldwater, Bower and Disastrous Damming of Colorado River
From the Los Angeles Times, in a commentary by Paul VanDevelder:
“As all eyes in the West look to the courts, the skies and the Colorado River for relief from 14 years of drought, it might be useful to remember the battles waged by two titans of the 20th century who played leading roles in the drama that led to the current mess. …
“The Colorado River has always been a special case. The drought that grips the Southwest today is the worst in 1,250 years, and climate modeling suggests things are likely to get worse.”
