I just wrapped up an interview about the Endangered Species Act with the Rio Grande’s tireless champion, Steve Harris. While describing himself as a positive person, he says the river is headed for a trainwreck of Klamathian proportions (think thousands of farmers in protest as Fish and Wildlife puts the acequias on lock down). His prediction? The real trouble begins in drought year #3 (this is #2, in case you haven’t checked your rain gauge).
