Colorado River Water Accord Reaches 10th Anniversary
From the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA):
“It’s been a decade since four Southern California water agencies voluntarily agreed in October 2003 to a set of long-term conservation and water transfer agreements to resolve longstanding disputes and help the state cope with users’ growing demand for water from the Colorado River.
“The Quantification Settlement Agreement (QSA), which will continue for as long as another 65 years, sets water limits for the Southern California water districts in order to help the state consume no more than its annual entitlement of 4.4 million acre-feet from the river.”
