The Future
of Water in the West
Water issues
will be front and center in this lecture by James Lawrence
Powell, a valley resident whose new book is titled Dead
Pool: Lake Powell, Global Warming, and the Future of Water in
the West. Powell will discuss the past, present, and future
of water in the West and examine the looming water crisis facing
desert cities such as Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Los Angeles—all of
which are heavily dependent on the Colorado River for their
supply. Lake Powell, a half-empty reservoir that is slowly
filling with silt behind its dam on the Colorado River, is the
focal point of his presentation. Dr. Powell, Executive Director
of the National Physical Science Consortium at the University of
California, is author of Grand Canyon: Solving Earth’s
Grandest Puzzle, among other books. His past lectures for
the SYVNHS have been popular and we are pleased to host him once
again.
MOUNT PINOS:
We are considering a July trip to visit the montane habitat
of Mount Pinos. If the idea of this field trip interests you,
