Dammed, polluted, and redirected to sustain ever-increasing demand from cities and agriculture, the mighty Colorado now runs dry more than a hundred miles from where it once met the ocean. This disruption of a critical natural resource has caused untold ecological devastation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Award-winning photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride has documented these alarming changes, undertaking a source-to-sea journey of hundreds of miles to see for himself what had become of his beloved backyard river. \u003ci\u003eWitness to Water\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles that journey and McBride’s mission to fight for conservation and restoration of the Colorado, as well as a similar source-to-sea journey along the Ganges, and the infamous 750-mile hike through the Grand Canyon that would become the subject of \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eA Walk in the Park\u003c\/i\u003e by Kevin Fedarko.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e See the Colorado River as never before, through the eyes of one of its greatest advocates.
