From the publisher
From the rear cover
"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
