Spring 2026 Book Club

The CHA will host a series of meetings (in person and on zoom) to discuss Where the Water Goes: Life and Death Along the Colorado River by David Owen. Water issues seem simple—ban golf, stop selling hay to China—but Owen’s story reveals a complex, man-made ecosystem shaped by engineering, law, and cooperation. This book explores how life thrives in the desert and what happens when the system breaks down.
