Project and Water News

Free Screening Tuesday, August 28th @ 7:00 PM at Salt Lake Public Library (210 E 400 S)

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Mark Decena, Watershed tells the story of the threats to the once-mighty Colorado River, the most dammed, dibbed and diverted river in the world, and offers solutions for the future of the American West.

In a new book, University of Utah political science professor and water rights expert Daniel McCool not only chronicles the history of water development agencies in America and the way special interests have abused, rather than preserved, the country’s rivers, he also narrates the second, brighter act in this ongoing story: the surging, grassroots movement to bring these rivers back to life and ensure they remain pristine for future generations.

Utah Govenor Gary Herbert and the Goshutes Native American tribe will sign a memorandum of understanding Wednesday that binds them together in an attempt to secure water rights for the group in western Utah.
