extent of the Colorado’s erosion has been largely inhibited because of the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam‚ which prohibits the annual spring floods. According to Matt Kaplan‚ a renowned science journalist‚ the Glen Canyon Dam that was constructed in 1963 has slowed the Grand Canyon’s yearly floods.
