What are your questions about the future of the Colorado River Basin? PBS News wants to hear from you.

Our PBS News special, "Tipping Point: A River Reimagined," will explore what comes next for the Colorado River Basin as it deals with the consequences of drought, rising temperatures and overuse. A new framework from the Trump administration proposes significant water cuts for certain areas along the basin, including Arizona, California and Nevada. Meanwhile, questions remain around how to best manage this critical water source long term. 

The live-streamed town hall, hosted by PBS News science correspondent Miles O'Brien on Aug. 19 in Grand Junction, Colorado, will feature state water negotiators, tribal representatives, scientists and farmers working to reimagine the Colorado River's next chapter.

We want to hear from you — especially if you're someone who cares about what happens to the river. Are you worried about your water bill, your tap running dry or the price of food at the grocery store as farmers who depend on this water face hard choices about their future? Whatever is on your mind, we want your questions and comments.
