Demand on Colorado River water now exceeds its supply. Nuestro Rio is sending a musical message (through a corrido, or traditional ballad) that Latinos want utilities and our state and federal governments to plan for a future in which water flows strong in the Colorado River. The corrido focuses on the historical and cultural significance of the Colorado River to our communities.

Nuestro Rio (@NuestroRio) is a grassroots network of over 13,000 Latinos who support restoring strong water flows in the Colorado River and its tributaries in order sustain this resource that has benefited our communities for hundreds of years.
