What might cuts to dwindling Colorado River mean for states?
Associated PressWASHINGTON — The Biden administration floated two ideas this week to reduce water usage from the dwindling Colorado River, which supplies 40 million people. Tuesday’s analysis from the Interior Department considers two ways to force cuts in the water supply for Arizona, Nevada and California: use the existing water priority system or the same percentage across the board. California is entitled to 4.4 million acre feet of water annually, more than any other single state in the Colorado River basin. The state’s water users are entitled to 2.8 million acre feet of Colorado River water annually. The priority-based proposal would protect Lake Powell’s water levels — but could result in lower capacity at Hoover Dam.
