description
ore brings to life the magnificent terrain and complex politics of the Colorado River, its dying reservoirs--and the surprising revelation that the inevitable loss of Lake Powell could be a turning point for more a sustainable future.

"A chronicle of both personal and ecological redemption by a gifted writer and observer, as well as a stirring affirmation that, even in a world suffering from terminal burnout, seeds can take root, flowers can clossom, and hope abides."
--KEVIN FEDARKO, The Emerald Mile and A Walk in the Park

After decades of drought, the American West is stretched to the breaking point. A changing climate and design flaws in the Glen Canyon Dam have pushed the once-massive Lake Powell reservoir to the brink of collapse--putting at risk millions of people who depend on the Colorado River for water, agriculture, and electricity. Now, as Glen Canyon reemerges, its surprising ecological rebirth reminds us that nature's capacity to heal may well outpace our own imaginations.

Environmental journalist Zak Podmore explores the complex challenges ahead and reframes the inevitable loss of Lake Powell as a turning point for a more sustainable future. Through an arresting mix of science and storytelling, Life After Dead Pool debunks the notion that the West's water challenges are unsolvable and invites us to secure a future where the Colorado River once again runs free.
