Grand Canyon Manmade Flood Planned

According to Wikipedia.com, six million years of rain, ice, erosion, and the Colorado River are responsible for the wondrous one mile deep and over 200 mile long steep sided gorge called The Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon has been a holy site, a settling place, a reservation site, and a geological wonder that contains in itself the knowledge of almost two billions years of the history of the Earth.

According to the National Park Service, The Grand Canyon is home to over 200 birds, over 80 mammals, over 40 reptiles, 9 amphibian, and 17 species of fish that are native and endangered. All of these species are facing extinction or at least a endangered title due to the lack of spring flooding that is natures way of flushing The Grand Canyon and helping to stabilize and rebuild the habitat. So what is making these species so unstable?

The answer to that question is The Glen Canyon Dam that was constructed in 1966 that was built to hold water and create hydroelectric power for the upcoming human population in Phoenix, Arizona. The construction of The Glen Canyon Dam has forcefully transformed The Grand Canyon into a cooler and strictly controlled environment has pressed the ecosystem to the edge of existence. Ecosystems are normally prone to change, change that takes decades to fully complete; but no ecosystem is prepared for an abrupt manmade forced stop of their needed water to nourish The Grand Canyon's beaches and contribute to the existence of hundreds of species.

Frommer.com, a site dedicated to The Grand Canyon National Park, states that there has been a 45% loss in the beaches along the Colorado River since The Glen Canyon Dam had been constructed, as well as a large shortage of sand. So since the human species is responsible for the devastation of nature's way, what are we human's doing to assist Mother Nature in returning to its normal state?
