Water in the West on Access Utah Wednesday

watershed documentary

  On Access Utah the topic is water, specifically the Colorado River and the documentary Watershed. The producers call the Colorado River the most "damned, dibbed and diverted river in the world." It is struggling to support 30 million people, and population is expected to explode. 
 
The peacekeeping agreement called the Colorado river pact, is reaching its limits. The producers of the movie believe there is hope. We'll be talking about the Colorado River and water in the West with Producer Jamie Redford and Director Mark Decena.
