End of an Age: Upon having a proposal for a dam on the Snake River rejected by the bureau, Grant realized that the era of dam building in the United States was over and no new dam projects would be built. Julie considers Lake Powell to have been one of the world's most beautiful places and is saddened by its disappearance. |

Obstructive Bureaucrat |
| Wet Desert: Tracking Down a Terrorist on the Colorado River / int_1f799027 |
comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: The governor of Nevada delays the opening of the spillways at Hoover Dam when he's informed that people have to be evacuated in preparation from the towns beneath the dam. This is subverted after his first scene, when the danger is described to him in frank and understandable terms, and he spends the rest of the novel scrambling to help Grant in every way he can. Some of the managers in charge of various dams are also reluctant to breach them to control the flow, with the attitudes of some bordering on I Reject Your Reality, but generally do after some cajoling. |

Chekhov's Gun: The spillways at Hoover Dam are described in detail, as well as the flood of 1983 when they were put in use. Fred wonders whether he'll see them in use again; sure enough, they are later used to drain the lake when the floodwaters from Lake Powell reach the dam. |

Uncertain Doom |
| Wet Desert: Tracking Down a Terrorist on the Colorado River / int_2854b56d |
comment |
Uncertain Doom: As the Crawfords travel down the draining Lake Powell, they encounter a capsized boat with an empty life jacket. There is nobody to be seen and Julie is sure the boat's passengers are dead. When David, Afram and Judy can no longer hold on their raft, it and the other passengers are swept off the cliff where it had stranded and down the Colorado river towards Granite Narrows where the flood has probably formed a large waterfall. Keller and the others try to control the raft for some moments more before he is thrown off in a waterfall. The text ends with a mention of how he falls into the water and loses his senses. It is later revealed that their bodies and life jackets were found beneath Granite Narrows. |

Oh, Crap!: The flight attendant gasps when she sees the leak in Glen Canyon Dam. Grant's and Fred's reaction to the phone call informing them of the bombing at Davis Dam involves dropping the cutlery. Just about all of the hikers, boaters and such in the Glen Canyon area when they finally realize why the water is rising. |

Too Dumb to Live: The agents beneath Headgate Rock Dam should have fled instead of arguing about whether the dam would really fail. One man with a hard hat waits too long and is swept away by the water when the dam breaches. |

Hate Sink: Howard. Being a lawyer in an engineer and manager setting such as the Bureau of Reclamation, rumour has it that he was installed there by politicians in order to sabotage the Bureau's operation. He's also described as having a terrible relationship to other characters, to the point that Grant wishes that he'll be eaten by a bear during his vacation in Yellowstone National Park. And later, when the FBI is considering the possibility that the bombings were an inside job, Grant smiles when he imagines Howard being responsible and in the process of being arrested for the bombings. |
