WHERE THE WATER GOES Life and Death Along the Colorado River

Environmental writer David Owen takes listeners on the Southwest's most iconic and troubled waterway. To his credit, he does some digging into a very complicated topic as he travels (physically) from the Colorado's headwaters near Rocky Mountain National Park to its delta in Mexico. Narrator Fred Sanders adds gravitas to Owen's narrative. His crisp baritone could make a telephone directory seem majestic. His pacing suits the engaging combination of water law doctrine, hydrology, anthropology, and personal vignettes that Owen offers to help his listeners understand "the law of the river" and the river itself.
