AQUAFORNIA BREAKING NEWS: New US plan could lead to federal action on Colorado River

One of the options would allow the Interior Department’s U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to take unilateral action, as it threatened this summer when it asked states to come up with ways to significantly reduce their use beyond what they’ve already volunteered and were mandated to cut.
