More Information
This project aims to track the changes in hydrological features on the Colorado River between Diamond Creek and Pearce Ferry Rapid. By collecting photos from specific sites, the project will monitor the areas of the river that were once large rapids and now, due to sediment left behind by Lake Mead, are beginning to re-emerge and may, one day, become prominent hydrological features again.
