Tourism is sucking Utah dry. Now it faces a choice - growth or survival?
Booming expansion to meet the demands of thousands of visitors every year is squeezing dwindling water supply.
Thousands of tourists descend on the Virgin River waterway year after year, even as this region and others across the American west fall deeper into drought. Fuelled by the climate crisis and the overuse of dwindling water resources, the drought threatens the safety and sustainability of the spectacular sights; at the same time, tourists and the industries that cater to them contribute to an unfolding crisis in the cherished lands that brought them there.
While western states grapple over how to ration the rapidly declining water resources and how to secure a future in which the climate crisis is driving aridification and severe storms in this part of Utah.
Officials are searching for new sources of water as it grows more scarce in the drought-stricken American west.

Hello hawthorn! £10m sand dunes project brings plants back to life. Traditionally, scrub has been allowed to swamp England and Wales’s sand dunes, but now they are being set free
This is the eastern outpost of Dynamic Dunescapes, a £10m project supported by Natural England and conservation groups including Plantlife and the Wildlife Trusts, which aims to bring new life to sand dunes, with a radical approach to their management.Sand dunes are biodiversity hotspots, a sanctuary for rare animals such as natterjack toads and sand lizards, as well as specialist plants such as the Petalwort and Dune Gentian. But the dunes in Lincolnshire, and much of the rest of the UK, are in a bad way.

‘Our biggest challenge? Lack of imagination’: the scientists turning the desert green. In China, scientists have turned vast swathes of arid land into a lush oasis. Now a team of maverick engineers want to do the same to the Sinai.
Ties van der Hoeven is a co-founder of the Weather Makers, a Dutch firm of “holistic engineers” with a plan to regreen the Sinai peninsula – the small triangle of land that connects Egypt to Asia. Within a couple of decades, the Weather Makers believe, the Sinai could be transformed from a hot, dry, barren desert into a green haven teeming with life: forests, wetlands, farming land, wild flora and fauna. A regreened Sinai would alter local weather patterns and even change the direction of the winds, bringing more rain, the Weather Makers believe – hence their name.
The watertanks of the greenhouse of The Weathermakers. The tanks are designed to stimulate diatom growth, which effectively take up nutrients from the water in order to create an optimal functioning ecosystem, Rosmalen, The Netherlands
