It designed it, created it, engineered it, constructed it, maintains it and it is responsible for any future use or evolution that the Grand Canyon will hold for future generations. The user states are all gearing up for the next Colorado River Compact in the hopes of improving their apportionment. Nevada and New Mexico each justly believe that they were shortchanged in the 1922 agreement and Mexico will surely bring suit in the International courts when the Supreme Court reaches its decision.
California which was the clear and primary winner of the 1922 Compact could be building Pacific Ocean water distillation systems even though they have a major influence in the US House.
The Colorado River is the "Life's Blood" of the American Southwest.

What river did the Grand Canyon was carved by the waters?
The Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River wearing away at the rock over a long period of time. Some estimate in the millions of years. +++ "was formed". It is still being formed as it still carries the R. Colorado and its tributaries.
How could the Colorado river form a grand canyon?
Overtime the rushing waters of the Colorado River plus the wind and water carved out the grand canyon over many, many, many, many, many, many, many years. Not so sure but I think it took a couple of millions of years to carve it out.
Why is the Colorado River famous?
Because Mother Nature used it to carve the Grand Canyon.
Who invented the grand canyon?
Mother Nature created the Grand Canyon. It took many thousands of years for the river to carve through the rock.
How many years did it take for the Colorado River to carve through the Grand Canyon?
It can't be thought of in terms of years, decades or even centuries, Canyon building on this scale mandates millions of years. It was carved by glaciers.
How did the gran canyon form?
The formation of the Grand Canyon was accomplished by the constant erosion of the rock by the Colorado River over some 17 million years. Over time the river was able to carve a very deep channel into the Colorado Plateau. Links are provided to specifics regarding the geology of the Grand Canyon.
What year was the Grand Canyon in Arizona made?
The Grand Canyon was not made in a specific year, decade or century. It took eons of hard work for what we know as the Colorado River to carve out what we know as the Grand Canyon today. How long it was work in progress remains in question by geologists, but most conclude that the process is currently 1.5 million years in the making.
What caused the Grand Canyon?
The water erosion of the Colorado River over a very long period of time combined with slow but consistent uplift of the ground the river flowed through. The Colorado River moved bits of rock around which made the GRAND CANYON.
What does the Development of the Grand Canyon through the uplift of the plateau and erosion by the Colorado River illustrate?
The development of the Grand Canyon through the uplift of the plateau and erosion by the Colorado River illustrates the process of geological change over millions of years. The uplift created a steep gradient for the river to carve through the rock layers, exposing different geological formations. This showcases the power of erosion in shaping landscapes and the importance of long-term processes in creating natural wonders.
