On This Green Earth, your hosts Nell Larson and Chris Cherniak talk with Eric Balken.
Balken is the Executive Director of Glen Canyon Institute. He will be covering the proposed Lake Powell Pipeline. A multibillion dollar, 140- mile pipeline project that would pump up to 86,000 acre-feet of water annually out of the Colorado River and into southwest Utah.
Why is the pipeline necessary? Who would pay for it? And, what impacts would such a pipeline have on those needing Colorado River water downstream.
