This is a tad late to acknowledge. I was casually pursuing a story on the world water crisis in 2009/10 and there was already a massive load of literature on the subject, including much on California and Colorado, with Peter Gleick already quite the expert on the issues, so I felt I was a decade late addressing it. Turned out to be too hard to photograph at the time (without lots of budget) but it was endlessly fascinating weaving my way across North and Central America looking at the warnings, the cleanups, the aftermaths of disasters and noting that the legal frameworks of the time basically encouraged and incentivized the root causes. America has the worst regulations and protections I've seen across any advanced nation, Australia comes close though.
