Interbasin Transfers Devastate Rivers by donna — last modified 2008-01-28 19:22

There is a long and sad history chronicling the devastation caused when interbasin transfers are allowed to permanently remove water from rivers. Out west, the mighty Colorado River carved the Grand Canyon. There are so many interbasin transfers permitted from the Colorado River now that this quintessential and iconic American River no longer flows to the sea. The Colorado is one of the most famous and treasured rivers in the world and yet interbasin transfers were allowed to destroy the downstream portion of the river. Don't let this happen to the Catawba!
