On-page description:
This episode explores the mystery of the vanishing Colorado River Delta. Once a lifeline for the American Southwest, it’s now a shadow of its former self. What happened? Outdated water laws? Excessive urban development and agriculture? Is there a possibility for restoration? Let’s investigate.
Hosted by Joe Hanson from Be Smart, Overview uses stunning 4k drone footage to reveal the natural and human-made marvels shaping our planet–from a 10,000-foot view–literally.
