Nevada challenges Interior over river cuts
Nevada filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of the Interior over new rules that mandate a 21% reduction in Colorado River water for California, Nevada, and Arizona starting in 2027. The lawsuit challenges the plan, which allows some states to implement voluntary cuts, arguing it fails to consider impacts on Nevada's water supply and violates legal agreements. Nevada officials state that the reduced allocation is insufficient for their needs, as the Colorado River supplies 90% of water used in the Las Vegas Valley.
