Brian Mahoney has been eyeing public access for properties along the Colorado riverfront since 1986, but he's always had his sights set on an elusive, high-rising parcel that just happens to include the junction of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers.

There have been notable overtures by Mahoney and others in the past to buy the property — owned for years by salvage yard operator Dean Van Gundy, and now owned by his son Randy — but a confluence of factors may be stirring together now to make some sort of sale of the property a reality.

In Colorado River's Final Hundred Miles, Small Signs Of Life Return

QuoteLAGUNA GRANDE, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO — It's mid-morning in the Sonoran desert and already the temperature is rising.
Karen Schlatter suggests we find some shade, a relatively easy task at Laguna Grande, a restoration site along the Colorado River's historic channel in Mexico. It's managed by the Sonoran Institute, where Schlatter is associate director of the binational environmental group's Colorado River Delta program.

As The Colorado River Basin Dries, Can An Accidental Oasis Survive?

QuoteJuan Butrón-Méndez navigates a small metal motorboat through a maze of tall reeds here in the Mexican state of Sonora. It's nearing sunset, and the sky is turning shades of light blue and purple.
The air smells of wet earth, an unfamiliar scent in the desert.
 

Luke Runyon reports from the Colorado River's "accidental wetland." Butrón-Méndez lives nearby and works for the conservation group Pronatura Noroeste as a bird monitor. (Pronatura's work receives financial support from the Walton Family Foundation, which also funds KUNC's Colorado River coverage.)

Five Years Later, Effects Of Colorado River Pulse Flow Still Linger

QuoteAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, MEXICO — From inside a small airplane, tracing the Colorado River along the Arizona-California border, it's easy to see how it happened.
As the river bends and weaves through the American Southwest, its contents are slowly drained. Concrete canals send water to millions of people in Phoenix and Tucson, Los Angeles and San Diego. Farms, ribbons of green contrasted against the desert's shades of brown, line the waterway.

Further downstream, near Yuma, Arizona, the river splits into threads, like a frayed piece of yarn.

Changing water flow leads to more bugs in the Grand Canyon

QuoteLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Ted Kennedy sums up what he sees along the river in the Grand Canyon: "It's buggy out there."
That is to say, an experiment to change the flow of water from a dam near the Arizona-Utah state line appeared to boost the number of aquatic insects that fish in the Colorado River eat.
 
Scientists are hoping to better understand those results with a second bug flow experiment that started this month and will run through August. They found that releasing low, steady flows of water from Glen Canyon Dam over the weekend gives the eggs that bugs lay on rocks, wood or cattails just below the water's surface a better chance of survival. Otherwise, they might dry out and die within an hour.

"It's a powerful reminder that flows really matter, that just a couple days a week of steady flow can illicit massive emergence," said Kennedy, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

50 years of restoring Donegal Creek wild trout stream heartbreakingly undone in hours


QuoteNature is a great healer. It also can be achingly fragile, as fly fishers who love Donegal Creek in East Donegal Township found out last weekend.

One minute, the spring-fed stream that has been lovingly restored into a wild trout stream over five decades was flowing peacefully through rolling Lancaster County farmland. Then something toxic came barreling downstream near the stream's confluence with Musser Run, wiping out, within hours, nearly every kind of fish, crayfish and aquatic insect along a 4.5-mile stretch.

On Sunday, when fly anglers who had caught rising trout only days before drove over to see the damage for themselves, they were dumbstruck and broken-hearted by what they saw. Wild and stocked trout, their beautiful stripes and colorful specks already bleached from their bodies, lay on sandy banks or bobbed in unnatural positions in the water. The carnage also included sculpin, dace, chubs, minnows, salamanders and all manner of aquatic insects.

The Mill Brook in West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard used to run "thick with fish," but that's no longer the case. As its waters warm from pollution and climate change, the trout, which require cool water temperatures, are becoming less and less numerous. Environmentalists say the trout are indicator of a challenged ecosystem.

John Wesley Powell First Descended the Grand Canyon 150 Years Ago, Here's How It's Changed Since

QuoteThe completion of the Glen Canyon Dam upstream of the Grand Canyon in 1963 resulted in reverberating changes to the canyon's water and sediment flows. These changes have altered the evolution and morphology, or the physical shape, of the Colorado River, along with the surrounding landscapes and the living things that evolved along the riverway.

Well-documented changes to the river system include variation in water temperature, the timing and duration of flood events and lack of replenishing sediment, all resulting from the regulated releases of cold, sediment-free water from Lake Powell.

Environment Report: The Earthquake Risk No One's Talking About
A quake, even one so far away that nobody in San Diego feels it, could cause an emergency and force mandatory water-use restrictions.


QuoteIn one worst-case scenario identified by the system's operator, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, a tunnel near Palm Springs would collapse during a quake and cut off flows for six months.

Battlefields part of drinking water protection effort


QuoteAbout two miles from the heart of Shepherdstown is the site of the bloodiest battle in West Virginia during the American Civil War. More than 600 Union and Confederate soldiers died in a two-day battle in September 1862.

The Battle of Shepherdstown may have been small in comparison to other battles of the Civil War, but historians agree, the battle not only halted the Confederates' northern invasion, but it also opened the door for President Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Since 2011, the site of the Battle of Shepherdstown has been a protected historic landmark. The battle site also happens to be at a unique location — along the Potomac River. The Potomac provides drinking water to Shepherdstown residents, and other nearby areas.
