The seven Colorado River Basin states are Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. MORE ⬇️
The water dispute between states is heating up after California could not come to an agreement with six other Colorado River Basin states about how to cut down on water needed from the Colorado River.Richard Frank is a director with the California Environmental Law and Policy Center. He says the basin states were asked by the federal government to come up with a new agreement considering historic low water levels.
Frank says California currently draws the most water from the river at 4.4-milion-acre feet. That's close to the amount the Biden administration is asking states to reduce. Now it's going to be up to the federal government to decide how states will allocate the water. It's a role Frank says the feds hoped they didn't need to play. The Bureau of Reclamation will likely issue its decision in the Spring.
