This Month in Outside
THE WATER ISSUE The wet stuff is always there for us—it grows our food, puts splash and spirit in our adventures, and (by the way) keeps us alive. But what have neglect and insatiable demand done to the supply? A special report on the health of America's most vital resource. RIVER IMPOSSIBLE Too many people are taking water from the Klamath. Last year, bad got worse, and 35,000 salmon went belly-up. What does the Northwest's oldest and ugliest water conflict tell us about the future? By Patrick Symmes GOOD OLD BOY GONE GOOD When Louisiana Cadillac dealer Harold Schoeffler isn't moving inventory, he's closing deals to save wetlands in the Atchafalaya Basin and teaching the Deep South to see green. By Peter Heller WITHOUT A PADDLE After decades of abuse, the Everglades is now part of the costliest wetland restoration project in history. Can a hapless journey into its wet heart offer hope that the effort is worth it? Well, yes. And no. By W. Hodding Carter WATER IN THE BALANCE Crucial fights are heating up all over the country. We look at how their resolution could steer major policies for years to come. BIG WINS Our feel-good roster of inspiring victories: How the Gauley River got its flow back; against-all-odds dam removal; saving a California surf break; and more.

D E P A R T M E N T S DISPATCHES A crusading archaeologist and powerful environmentalists go head to head over a plan to develop MAYAN RUINS in Guatemala. PLUS: Running the numbers on the WORLD'S TALLEST MOUNTAIN; and this month's RADAR. THE WILD FILE Is it safe for dogs to run long distances? Does cloud seeding really make rain? Do cell phones work better if you're on top of a mountain? By Brad Wetzler DESTINATIONS Easy-access scuba: Keep your flippers close to home and explore NORTH AMERICA'S WILDEST DIVES: from Hawaiian lava chambers to Lake Superior wrecks to Floridian springs. PLUS: Pay a visit to SCUBA CAMP on a desert island in Baja's Sea of Cortez. THE HARD WAY In which we unfold the inside story of Aron Ralston, who cut off his hand to free himself from a fallen boulder, and explore the universal obsession with his grisly, inspiring ordeal.
