Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Colorado River Basin?s importance cannot be overstated. Its living river system supplies water to roughly forty million people, contains Grand Canyon National Park, Bears Ears National Monument, and wide swaths of other public lands, and encompasses ancestral homelands of twenty-nine Native American tribes. John Wesley Powell, a one-armed Civil War veteran, explorer, scientist, and adept federal administrator, articulated a vision for Euro-American colonization of the ?Arid Region? that has indelibly shaped the basin?a pattern that looms large not only in western history, but also in contemporary environmental and social policy.   One hundred and fifty years after Powell?s epic 1869 Colorado River Exploring Expedition, this volume revisits Powell?s vision, examining its historical character and its relative influence on the Colorado River Basin?s cultural and physical landscape in modern times. In three parts, the volume unpacks Powell?s ideas on water, public lands, and Native Americans?ideas at once innovative, complex, and contradictory. With an eye toward climate change and a host of related challenges facing the basin, the volume turns to the future, reflecting on how?if at all?Powell?s legacy might inform our collective vision as we navigate a new ?Great Unknown..…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Signed on November 24, 1922, the Colorado River Compact is the cornerstone of a proverbial pyramid-an elaborate body of laws colloquially called the "Law of the River" that governs how human beings use water from the river system dubbed the "American Nile." No fewer than forty million people have come to rely on the Colorado River system in modern times-a river system immersed in an unprecedented, unrelenting megadrought for more than two decades. Attempting to navigate this "new normal," policymakers are in the midst of negotiating new management rules for the river system, a process coinciding with the compact's centennial that must be completed by 2026. Animated by this remarkable confluence of events, Cornerstone at the Confluence leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader "Law of the River" to envision the future. It is a volume inviting dialogue about how the Colorado River system's flows should be apportioned given climate change, what should be done about environmental issues such as ecosystem restoration and biodiversity protection, and how long-standing issues of water justice facing Native American communities should be addressed. In one form or another, all these topics touch on the concept of "equity" embedded within the compact-a concept that tees up what is perhaps the foundational question confronted by Cornerstone at the Confluence: Who should have a seat at the table of Colorado River governance.…
