The Colorado has almost 250,000 square miles of basin. The Chattahoochee less than 9000. Atlanta metro is about six million, Las Vegas metro about 2.5. Politically, the Colorado is a different animal. Mexico is downstream and historically has just had to lump it when the river runs dry. Which it has as the US built dams. And today, it has to make do with just a remaining 5% of the historical wetlands where the Colorado flows into the Sea of Cortez. |
