Arizona's Dying Rivers
The Verde River is being threatened and may become another of Arizona's disappearing rivers. It is essential to people, wildlife and plants through its 190 mile excursion across the middle of our state. A film has been produced -- "Viva La Verde" -- (about 48 minutes) on the river and I've included a link to this film here so that you can view it. The proposed pipeline from the Big Chino aquifer to Prescott, Chino and Prescott Valley threatens this river because the aquifer is its primary origin. Depleting aquifers are a major threat to the entire world, so don't think this is just a problem for the high desert.
