California Holds Out on Agreement , to Cut Colorado River Water Use.
'The Guardian' reports that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation previously called on states that rely on water from the Colorado River to come up with ideas to conserve 2 million to 4 million acre-feet of water.
The mid-August deadline proposed by the bureau lapsed, but some of those states have since reconvened and reached a consensus. .
'The Guardian' reports that six western states have agreed on a plan to dramatically cut use of Colorado River water.
However, California, which has the largest allocation of Colorado River water, is holding out.
State officials say they'll devise their own plan.
California remains focused on practical solutions that can be implemented now to protect volumes of water in storage without driving conflict and litigation, JB Hamby, chair of the Colorado River Board of California, via statement.
But Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming have decided to work together.
The states wish to raise water levels where reductions
would occur at Lake Mead and Lake Powell, effectively
creating a protective buffer for the reservoirs.
The model would also focus on water accounting
to ensure that water stored in Lake Mead by the
Lower Basin states is available for future use. .
The actions would reportedly result in
2 million acre-feet reductions in the
Lower Basin and smaller cuts in the Upper Basin.
'The Guardian' reports that an acre-foot of water is enough to supply two to three American households each year

Predictions Remain Grim , For Lake Mead , Despite Heavy Rains .
'Newsweek' reports that water levels at Lake Mead
have continued to rise over the past week,
however, the predictions for 2023 remain dire.
At the beginning of January,
the reservoir formed by the Hoover Dam
on the Colorado River was at 1,044.69 feet.
As of January 24, following weeks of heavy
rainfall across California and Nevada, water levels
rose just over a foot, reaching 1,045.99 feet. .
The heavy rains came amid
one of the most severe droughts
the region has ever experienced. .
'Newsweek' reports that these
droughts have been impacting
the region since 2000.
States that include Nevada, Arizona,
California and Utah are all using water resources
faster than they can be replenished.
States that include Nevada, Arizona,
California and Utah are all using water resources
faster than they can be replenished.
Consequently, water levels, at Lake Mead, are rapidly decreasing.
Over 25 million people , rely upon the reservoir , to supply water to the region.
'Newsweek' reports that the Hoover Dam, which supplies
power for surrounding communities, will be unable
to operate once the reservoir falls to around 895 feet.
Lake Mead's water levels reached an all-time low
of 1,040 feet in July 2022, and projections suggest
that 2023 could see water levels continue to fall.
