Why the Colorado River Matters
One of Two Largest Drainages
The Colorado River Basin and its drainage is one of the two largest in the United States, along with the Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest
40 Million People in the West
The Colorado River provides municipal and industrial water for over 40 million people living in the major Western metropolitan areas of Los Angeles, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Denver, and San Diego, 30 Tribes and two countries-Utah States, and the Republic of Mexico.
1,440 Miles Long
The Colorado River is 1,440 miles long and passes through seven states and Mexico
"The Colorado River Authority elevates Utah to a position of strength and next-generation thinking."
