The group American Rivers is out with its 2024 list of the country’s most endangered rivers. The rivers of New Mexico top the list, followed by those in Mississippi and Tennessee.
But fourth on the list is Arizona’s Santa Cruz River. The main threat, according to the report: water scarcity.
Luke Cole, director of the Santa Cruz River Program at the Sonoran Institute, said he was pleased to see the river on the list. He spoke more about it with The Show.
