Activist Runs 2,000 Miles to Highlight Colorado River Crisis
Mina Guli, an Australian water advocate, is running the length of the Colorado River to raise awareness about its critical condition. The river, which provides drinking water for 40 million people and supports $1.4 trillion in economic activity, has suffered decades of drought, leading to record-low levels in its reservoirs. Guli’s campaign, titled '2,000 Miles. 100 Days. 1 River. 1 Run,' aims to engage communities, policymakers, and businesses in finding solutions to the water crisis. Her journey includes meeting locals, hosting summits, and sharing stories on social media to amplify the voices of those directly affected. Negotiations among seven states dependent on the river have stalled for over a year, highlighting the urgency of innovative approaches to water management. Source time: Sat, 18 Jul 2026 01:05:40 GMT.
