Question

im doin a project and this question is getting on my nerves can someone help me

Answer 1

home work oh boy!
well without the colorado river,the west coast wouldnt be.
its a desert,and the river not only supports farmlands in desolated areas,but hydro electrical power to the cities in the southwest along with drinking water

Answer 2

I had read this paper the other day sorry forgot the name of the newspaper anyway.
The river itself run into two country that is USA and Mexico and end up in the Gulf of California
(the five state is Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and California)
So why it's important wildlife, power from the Hoover Dam specially to near by city or town like Las Vegas, food most fish, fun for water sport.

Answer 3

well to some californians it is a form of water andd somewhere down there i think there is a dam so it might also help somewhat in electric uses and also it makes the border end of california andddwhether or not it is not used in these uses rivers are geographic means of our world it is important enough to give us water and all these thing what use it is countless to name whether it is the makeup of the border between the tip of californi and arizona or water for the communities it has alot of other uses that are made useful to humans!

Answer 4

im from england so i might be wrong, i thought the colorado river's power was harnessed by the hoover dam to provide electricity and stored water so that cities could be built in an otherwise hostile environment

Answer 5

Well, for starters it provides much of the available fresh water for residents of five states, including southern California... nearly all of the river's water is allocated, barely a trickle actually reaches the Gulf of California.

Answer 6

Al Gore would know.
