The top 10 most endangered rivers in America

April 18, 2022

The Colorado River — which provides drinking water, irrigation and electricity for more than 40 million people in the West — is the most endangered river in the United States this year, according to the nonprofit conservation group American Rivers.

From the Pacific Northwest to Alabama, American Rivers ranked the top 10 most endangered rivers across the country — crises brought on by worsening droughts, human-made dams and coal-ash contamination. The Colorado River's outdated water management practices have been worsened by climate change, pushing the river into the No. 1 slot, the group said.
