A waterway that flows through Utah has made a dubious list.
The environmental group "American Rivers" released a list of the nation's 12 most endangered waterways.
Washington State's Snake River was number one on the list. But closer to home,
the Green River is ranked number 11.
The group blames decades of
dam building,
digging of channels
and construction of floodwalls
for endangering rivers
and the fish and other living things
in them.
