PHOENIX, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Filmmaker Robert Redford and son Jamie Redford were in Phoenix to raise money for a plan to revive the Colorado River ecosystem and raise its water levels.
The elder Redford said he was shocked when he learned that the Colorado River, which pierces through the Grand Canyon, only rarely ever reaches the sea. The river has run dry since 1998 after being tapped by the seven states that use its watershed.
