The South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon National Park has implemented water conservation measures on the South Rim. The measures were put in place because of a broken segment of pipeline near Phantom Ranch.

The measures impact residents and tourists alike. People are asked to repair or report leaks, reduce shower times, run dishwashers full and reduce toilet flushing.

The park’s North Rim is currently closed due to the Dragon Bravo Fire which so far, has scorched more than 200 square miles.

Michel Marizco was senior editor of KJZZ's Fronteras Desk from 2016 to 2025.
