Host - Clay Jenkinson
This week, Clay speaks with Glen Canyon Institute's Eric Balken for our initiative Water and the West: The West Runs Dry. Balken believes Glen Canyon Dam should be re-engineered to pass the water of the Colorado River, around Glen Canyon Dam. Given the over-allocation and global climate change, it will be impossible to keep both Lake Powell and Lake Mead full. He believes this crisis is a great opportunity to undo one of the greatest industrial mistakes in American history. What if we emptied Lake Powell and created Glen Canyon National Park in one of the most beautiful canyons in the world?
