David Owen

David Owen has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 1991. He is the author of more than a dozen books, including “Where the Water Goes: Life and Death Along the Colorado River,” which grew out of a magazine piece published in 2015.

“Part road-trip documentary, part memoir, and part geopolitical and hydrology lesson, author David Owen’s book follows the historical and geographic course of the river, the water it carries, and the lives that depend on it… [Owen] effectively describes the links between historic precedents, choices, and events that led the river and the millions of people who depend upon it to the present state.” — Science Magazine
