Experts want to cut water use in the Colorado River

The final areas of Colorado River is spherated so that one dried year can send it to lower levels in a dangerous way, a group of prominent scholars warns against new analysis.

The investigators exhorted Trump management to intervene and place large pressure on water at all seven areas of the River – California, Coloradi, Utah and New Yayoming.

“We have a real problem, and we should face it soon,” Jack Schmidt, Utah State University Director of the Colorado River Study, in charge of analysis. “Everyone needs to look at ways of cutting right now.”

The Colorado River offers water from Denver Diego, 30 nations and agricultural communities in the mountains from northern Mexico.

The river for a long time was exposed, and their reservoors have deprived of persistent persistent conditions since 2000. The research has shown that warm weather, it is very grown about the use of the longest years.

Small snowpack in the rocky winter snow is added to the rivers of the river. Investigators evaluate the latest Music Data and find that if the coming winter is dry, large areas of rivers will approach the lowest levels without being a major decline in water use.

“Bad consequences,” expert wrote in reportpublished on Thursday. If the next year it appears to be again this year, write, full water use can pass the natural flow of the Creeiled River at least 3.6 million.

Under such a situation, the regional water use will pass the river flow over one of the four.

The investigators claim that snowy winter can always bring relief. But they noticed that the solar government The latest weather for the year SOUTHYEST will have the above and high temperatures between the next few months.

They asked the Ministry of Interior, Dams and River Managers, “to take immediate action.”

“To avoid this possible result requires quick decrease and further,” said investigators. “Taking steps now to reduce the changing use throughout the Bhesh will reduce the need to use Draconia methods in the following years.”

Near the Las Vegas, Lake Mead, the largest reserve, is now full.

The UPTREAM is from the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, the second largest last place in the country, is 29% volume.

Federal officials said they wanted to keep the Lake Powell over the point where water could pass to the Glen Canyon Dam – Glean Canlon Dam Bypass tubes.

The authorities say those four metal letters with 8 meters can cause a boundary bottle that how much water did in California, Arizona, Nevada and Mexico. Last year, state officials Found injury Inside tubes can continue to limit the water flow where the lower reservoir levels.

The investigators have made their analysis look at what they call “Water Finds” Lake Mead Nakake Powellell – Using Federal Media Used.

“The nearest time calamity takes place in front of our eyes,” said the investigators Blog post to declare the report. “The gap between continuous water use and the fact that the water is how much water in the Colorado river face a great threat.”

After the dryer of the dry age, a strong snow in the rocky mountain snow in 2023 brought relief to final areas. That was followed by the flow of a nearby river in 2024 compared to a quarterly quarter. But this year, the Realoff of the iceberg in the River Valley could be 70% of the average.

Seven provincial representatives have been holding hard conversations Developing new rules to deal with shortages after 2026, where current laws are expired.

While those discussions continue, Schmidt and other researchers say that this situation wants to make immediate needs to reduce the demands from the river.

“We think that [the Bureau of] The renewal requires all of this now and begins to use cuts, “said Schmidt, adding that the decline should be stolen from all seven provinces.

Alyse Sharle, spokesman for the Bureau of Reclamation conditions of the most employment, and as the end of current rules approach, “we are actively involved with our partners in Colorado River.”

“This is just a moment you need to be urgent, work together and transparency,” said Sharpe e-mail. “We are constantly committed to the use of basin States, nations, Mexico, and stakeholders to ensure a healthy future and power in the Colorado River.”

In recent years, seven countries have accepted a series of additional water storage system to prevent resvor can reach extremely low levels.

As part of those agreements, California, California Base of California have volunteered Leaves certain hay fields standing and unpleasant Part of the time is to exchange payments through Federal Money Programs during Ben-Management.

Experts say they are not sure if Trump administrators will make a lot of money available from those types of water savings.

Anne Castle, the Great Brother of the University of Colorado Law School’s Getches-Wilkinson Center in charge of the report, said it was meant to be a “call” to water management at all Colorado bosses.

The decline in water use will be politically difficult, said Calle, but notice that seven provinces have a history “by the execution of the Unity, finally renewed solutions.”

Focusing, said Calle, it should be a temporary administrative problem so that we do not get it in a deep hole. ”
