Mr. President, Tear Down This Dam!

Water resources are an incredible asset to Arizona. Environmentalists have been issuing dire warnings regarding the long term effects of Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River, its downstream communities, the hydro-sustained ecosystems and yes, even the climate.
But are these warnings based on fact? Should the dam be removed? Should we return the Colorado River to its original habitat? Can the Colorado River be sustained forever without a major disruption of the downstream plant and wildlife? What would we gain and what would we lose if we instructed the Federal Government to “tear down this dam!”\
