Talk:Horseshoe Bend (Arizona)

I don't think this article ought to be merged. It's a specific place, and to redirect to the article on the whole river would not clarify anything. --Aaron Walden Image:Tsalagisigline.gif 00:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eutrophication?

Is the green colour of the Colorado water consequence of eutrophication? If so it's a beautiful picture to use in environmental issues.

  • I'm not sure. Green "clings" to the river and the shore close to the river. Just a few meters away from the river everything reverts to desert browns/yellows/oranges. Maybe somebody more familiar with the Colorado river or northern Arizona can comment. -- Moondigger 11:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
George Hayduke was right - damming the Colorado was not a bright thing to do. In a few thousand years the dam will have silted up, the river will flow again, people will be extinct, the earth will heave a sigh of relief and the cycle wlll carry on. Paul venter 14:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
