520    The Colorado River is a crucial resource for a 
       surprisingly large part of the United States, and every 
       gallon that flows down it is owned or claimed by someone. 
       David Owen traces all that water from the Colorado's 
       headwaters to its parched terminus, once a verdant wetland
       but now a million-acre desert. He takes readers on an 
       adventure downriver, along a labyrinth of waterways, 
       reservoirs, power plants, farms, fracking sites, ghost 
       towns, and RV parks, to the spot near the U.S.Mexico 
       border where the river runs dry. Water problems in the 
       western United States can seem tantalizingly easy to solve
       : just turn off the fountains at the Bellagio, stop 
       selling hay to China, ban golf, cut down the almond trees,
       and kill all the lawyers. But a closer look reveals a vast
       man-made ecosystem that is far more complex and more 
       interesting than the headlines let on.
