Who Killed the Colorado River?

This episode explores the mystery of the vanishing Colorado River Delta. Once a lifeline for the American Southwest, it's now a shadow of its former self. What happened? Outdated water laws? Excessive urban development and agriculture? Is there a possibility for restoration? Let's investigate. Hosted by Joe Hanson from Be Smart, Overview uses stunning 4k drone footage to reveal the natural and human-made marvels shaping our planet--from a 10,000-foot view--literally.
