Grand Canyon Flooded to Restore Beaches (AP). AP - Scientists flooded the Grand Canyon on Sunday to restore beaches and save fish and plants that have been disappearing since sediment-free water began flowing from a man-made dam 40 years ago. [Yahoo! News: Top Stories]
Its been 18 years since I spent the month of January rafting down the Colorado river, as a field assistant, surveying bars and beaches in the Grand Canyon. It was one of the first of several studies that served as a baseline for evaluating the flooding tests in 1996.
In a very small way, my work that January, is helping restore the Cayon. This pleases me.
