A loo with a view! What do you call this contraption?
Toilet
Commode
Groover
If you guessed the groover, you’re right!
Back in the 1960s, river trips became quite popular but caused severe environmental degradation, primarily due to human waste! River runners resorted to using large ammo boxes without toilet seats, resulting in many users getting physical grooves in their tush! Hence, the name “groover” stuck, although modern takes have come to include an actual toilet seat like what you see here!
💧Water conservation for the win!💧
Last year`s record-breaking snowpack brought relief to the Colorado River’s dwindling water supply - boosting water levels in Lake Mead and Lake Powell. But there`s more to this success story. States like Arizona, California, and Nevada are using less water than ever, thanks to a remarkable commitment to conservation.
Now, the focus turns to the future. Climate change`s impact on the river basin is a significant factor as negotiations begin, with officials considering how to navigate these challenges. The aim is to ensure a sustainable future for the Colorado River, with all stakeholders working together. Check out link in bio to read more from @CNN.

An unexpected surprise of a river is a sanctuary in Northern Arizona—the headwaters of the Verde River. Local advocates are working diligently to safeguard this ecological and culturally significant gem.
Host @TillieWaltonOfficial was introduced to this special place when she lived in Flagstaff, AZ. “I had just adopted my first rescue dog and I immediately took him on a 3-day inflatable kayak trip on the Verde River. This was when I learned that the Verde is an incredible oasis of life in the desert and that not all lab-retrievers like to swim 😎”
The Upper Verde`s unique intact ecosystem is under the protection spotlight, as it exemplifies the proactive preservation of a wild, undeveloped, and free-flowing river. The goal? Designate the Upper Verde as Arizona`s next Wild and Scenic River, ensuring its continued pristine state and essential values. 🌍💧
