Opinion: No more Band-Aids — river compact needs replacing
California has really demonstrated that it needs less Colorado River water. It’s taken a while, but it has been a really successful adaptation. And that is my point (or are my points). For Colorado to spend more money that we do not have in order to pay farmers to take crop land out of production, thereby degrading the economy of the ag sector in our state, is an exercise in utter foolishness.
