Local Natives Dive Into the Colorado River Drought in New 'Earthworks' Clip

Through the first two parts of Earthworks -- VICELAND's new environmental series that takes a compelling, musical approach to immediate environmental issues -- we've watched Animal Collective record ambient sounds to raise awareness for the deforestation of the Brazilian rainforest and Miguel strum away on an acoustic guitar to explore his roots in his ancestral homeland of Mexico.

In this week's third part of the three-part series, LA-based indie rock band Local Natives witnessed the country's water crisis firsthand by following the path of the Colorado River from their Southern California digs to see how massive drought has cut off such a vital water and power source from the Pacific Ocean.

The third episode airs on VICELAND tonight at 11 pm EST, but you can watch a 12-minute sneak peek above right now.

Just in case you can't watch the episode as it airs on TV, you can stream the show at Live Nation's YouTube page here from 11:30 pm EST onwards. Catch the previous two episodes there as well.

You can also take action in support of the Sonoran Institute whose mission is to connect people and communities to the natural resources that nourish and sustain them.
