I remember reading #cadillacdesert about water in the western US back in the 90’s.. of course the problems have gotten much worse since then!

Book cover for "Cadillac Desert: The American West and its Disappearing Water" by Marc Reisner. The black cover shows an aerial photo of Glen Canyon Dam, with red rock, black water, the white dam, and a silver bridge crossing the Colorado River.
