Trump admin unveils plan to reduce Colorado River usage
The Trump administration has announced a 10-year plan to address water shortages on the Colorado River, allowing for potential cuts of up to 40%, but currently offering a two-year agreement to reduce water use by about half that amount. California, Arizona, and Nevada will cut their usage by approximately 12%, 31%, and 28%, respectively, through 2028, avoiding the most severe restrictions. The plan aims to respond to historically low reservoir levels driven by prolonged drought and climate change, though the latter was not explicitly mentioned in the announcement.
