A 50-Year Plan To Save The Lower Colorado

"Interior Secretary Gale Norton will launch a half-century effort Monday to return native trees, fish and wildlife to a lower Colorado River system profoundly altered by man's thirst... [T]he beleaguered native fish and wildlife of the lower Colorado will get help when Norton signs final documents adopting a 50-year, $626-million program to offset some of the environmental damage done by dams and pumping that supply river water to millions of residents of Southern California, Nevada and Arizona. About 8,130 acres of habitat will be created and maintained along portions of a 400-mile leg of the Colorado running from Lake Mead to the Mexican border."
