Dead Pool: Lake Powell, Global Warming, and the Future of Water in the West Paperback - 2011
by James Lawrence Powell
From the rear cover
"Dead Pool is the best book I know about the current state of the Colorado River and the policy issues facing it."--Donald Worster, author of Rivers of Empire
"Dead Pool offers a powerful epitaph to the era of big dams. Carefully researched and cogently argued, it shows how the self-serving promoters of the Colorado River's dams have consistently ignored natural limits imposed by water supply, silt, and salt, creating a long-term crisis that may make ghost towns out of many of the overpopulated cities of the American West."--Jacques Leslie, author of Deep Water: The Epic Struggle Over Dams, Displaced People, and the Environment

Description:
Paperback / softback. New. Where will the water come from to sustain the great desert cities of Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix? This title explores the water in the West, and explains why America built the dam that made Lake Powell and others like it and then allowed its citizens to become dependent on their benefits, which were always temporary.
