Description
Glen Canyon was home to the flowing Colorado River until 1963 when Glen Canyon Dam closed its gates creating Lake Powell. Over the past few years, water in Powell has dropped to levels not seen since the 1960s. The River Radius went onto Lake Powell and up into the canyons to see what has returned in these canyons as they restore to their pre Powell eco-systems and to ask the questions of what is next for Powell and Glen Canyon. Guests are the Glen Canyon Institute and Eric Balkan.

Once it was found in hiding above a waterfall, work began to reestablish this fish in its original basin. And yet, this work runs into itself as the projects require more changes to the streams of Colorado. by The River Radius Podcast
