Salt River 2017 Flood Explained




In early 2017 the Salt River experience an unusually large amount of runoff from melting snow and a few weeks of heavy rain. I researched the Salt River to understand the awesome spectacle that I was also filming. This flooding is not unheard of, but this time it was a lot bigger than had been seen in quite some time.
