Heather Hansman

Heather Hansman (Jour’10) wrote the book Downriver, which will be published by the University of Chicago Press in April 2019. The book discusses fights over water rights to the Green River, the most significant tributary of the Colorado River. The Green River runs 730 miles from Wyoming to Utah. In her research for the book, Heather set out on a journey in a one-person inflatable raft to paddle the entire river.
