Writing the River: A Conversation with New Yorker Writer David Owen

Where the Water Goes
Regular New Yorker contributor David Owen writes about the Colorado River in his latest book.

Where does our water come from, and where does it go? Those are two questions New Yorker staff writer David Owen tackles in his latest book about the past, present and future of the Colorado River.

Owen has published more than a dozen books. He’s tackled issues from the invention of the Xerox machine and the rise of golf prodigy Tiger Woods. He once went undercover as a high school student.

Vanessa Barchfield interviews Owen about his most recent work, "Where the Water Goes: Life and Death Along the Colorado River."
