Utah's Water Crisis is Much WORSE Than You Think!

Does Southern Utah really need the Lake Powell Pipeline? This project has been debated for years. Supporters say Washington County needs a second water source as St. George continues to grow. Critics argue the region should focus on conservation, golf course irrigation, outdoor landscaping, and other alternatives before spending billions on a new pipeline. In this video, I travel across southern Utah to investigate the proposed Lake Powell Pipeline for myself. From Sand Hollow Reservoir and the Virgin River to St. George and Lake Powell, we'll look at the facts behind one of the most controversial water projects in the American West. Rather than taking sides, this video examines publicly available data, current water use, conservation efforts, and the challenges facing the Colorado River Basin to better understand why this project remains in limbo.
